I recently wrote a chapter of Thoughts I Never Intended to Share titled "My Collection of Words." Like many of the chapters that preceded this one, its subject was grounded in truth. I actually do carry a small black book in my pocket that contains all my favorite quotes, some of them my own, most of them from my favorite writers. These quotes mean a lot to me. They have changed my life. So, I decided that I would like to share them here. This will not really be my own writing, more of a way that I can share meaning with the world. Please enjoy my Collection of Words. The cover I chose is a painting by the legendary Felix Mendelssohn, a veritable renaissance man and composer of great nuance and substance. A perfect match for the words that lie within.

Thomas needed a vacation, but that didn't mean he wanted one. His best friend convinced him to come down to his family's beach house for the summer to unwind, to relax for once. Thomas wasn't swayed easily, but he found himself on a flight to Florida regardless, albeit begrudgingly. Thomas intended to mope around for the three months, drink away his problems, and maybe get a tan in the process. However, his plans were thwarted when an unwanted houseguest from his past arrived the day after his getting there, leaving a bitter tang on the entire "vacation." Not to mention, Thomas was forced to share what he thought was his room with his best friend's wife's ridiculously handsome brother, Dallas. Thomas was on the cusp of drowning in the first week. Relaxation wasn't even on the agenda. He just had to try to keep his head above water.
