“My life outlook isn’t cloudy. That’s just the weather report for the rest of my life.”
“My life before the flood was manageable; during the flood it was chaos. The National Weather Service only reported river levels, and at times, crest predictions. It didn't report or predict everything else that could go wrong.”
“And I would spend the rest of my life doing just that.”
“Writing isn’t my life…it’s a lovely part of my life... but it’s not my life. My life is family, friends, fishing, food…things like reading and painting and all the rest of it, and you can’t really prioritize when you’re involved with family or you’re involved in fishing, you can’t say, ‘Oh, I really should be writing.”
“I just don't want to forget this first day of the rest of my life!”
“I just want to spend every possible minute of the rest of my life with you.”
