**Thank you AOL Editors for this week choosing "Theresa Williams--Author" as a top-five pick.
"Every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other people, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving." - Albert Einstein
I found this quote on April's blog. It reveals the way I feel about writing--that it is a way of staying connected to a positive force. The only way to truly pass on the force to others is to WRITE.
This recognition is important for me, because sometimes I feel "guilty" when I take time away from other obligations or pursuits in order to write. I feel guilty for shutting myself inside a room and spending so much time away from my family.
Einstein's quote turns guilt on its head.

This is so cool! Congratulations! I hope you will get many new readers!
If you did not take time away then your family would feel the ill winds that blow because you would not have a way to release them except on them.
Yeaaaaaaaaa1 Theresa!

Congratulations again, Theresa - and congratulations for coming to terms in a healthy manner with what you must do survive and grow. May we all learn from you.
Hi,
Congrats on being a pick this week!
I agree with you about writing.
It is my need!!!
I am writing about my sister, Peggy. She has Alzheimer's disease and is in the last stages.
Peggy is only 54 years old.
I write as therapy and to explain how it feels to be on this side of the disease. Also how I see the disease as it progresses.
I hope you will visit sometime.
