Forgiveness

Our water bill arrived yesterday. I was horrified at how much water a 2.5 person household could use so I committed to cutting down our water usage. Starting with showers.

Shower time came. It was hot and it was long. Then I felt guilty.

This got me thinking about forgiveness. In order to be forgiven one must forgive. So it’s time.

Twilight.

A few years ago a friend told me to buy a fantastic book called Twilight.  She said ‘in fact, buy all three because once you start you won’t be able to put them down’. So I did. And I put them down.  For a long time. Eventually I was persuaded to pick them back up again in case they got better and I missed something. I wouldn’t have missed anything. As far as I can see it is about a girl who says ‘I don’t deserve you’ and a vampire who says ‘I have to protect you’.  For three whole books. Then the fourth book came out and I was forced to read it in case she died. She doesn’t die. That is a lot of wasted time.

Is there a patron saint of forgiving authors who have frustrated and wasted time? I am going to need all the help that I can for this one.

Here it goes.

Stephenie Meyer, I forgive you.
