I have so many random thoughts.
When I was a young teen mom (14) I worried about my lack of education. My schooling options were limited as I was considered a bad example and not allowed to attend regular classes. Instead I attended night school where I could take classes mandatory to earn a diploma.
I did that while setting out to educate myself through reading. I asked my local librarian for book suggestions as well as trying to read my way through a list of classic literature.
I still own the dogeared paperback dictionary that allowed me to decifer words beyond my vocabulary.
I'm not sure any of that effort paid dividends. Some authors like Steinbeck haunted me and others baffled me at their aclaim.
Now that I'm old random plots and passages come to mind out of the blue.
I saw a man carrying a heavy load up a hill today and thought Pilgrim's Progress. I probably should have saved my memory storage capacity for something more useful.
