This afternoon I finished reading "Julie and Julia - A Year of Cooking Dangerously". It's the story of Julie Powell deciding to spend a year cooking all the recipes in Julia Child's cookbook "Mastering the Fine Art of French Cooking". Julie wrote a great book. She is funny, foul mouthed and had something to say about courage and finding a place in your own life. The book resonated with me. One of the many reasons it did is she talked about how much she loved her husband. I liked that. I love myhusband and like it when other people love theirs. I like seeing strong marriages survive and become stronger.
I was so interested in her life I wanted to see what happened next. I googled her. It was a mistake. A big mistake. She is divorced and remarried. I almost feel like she divorced me.
Alright, I know she has a right to live her life anyway she wants too. I know the book was a version of her life that she wanted to make public. But dang I liked her marriage.
