The Blue Cotton Gown by Patricia Harman



I was really, really into this book.

I've never really felt ok with the way I am. I am too emotional, too dramatic, take things too seriously, too erratic. I am organized and frustrated. I am silent and loud, colorful and pale.

This author was too.

And people have never understood why I've always been drawn to quiet, rock solid people.

I need a calm in my storm.

She kept referring to her husband as her metronome, and that thought resonated with me so completely - I was riveted.

Where he said "it's fine", she worried. Where she exploded, he remained calm. They each loved tirelessly, and passionately. They merely reacted to life situations in different ways.

I understood.
