Getting Something Done

Yesterday, I spent most of the day

 on the computer.  

That is very rare.

 Usually during the school year, 

the kids are on the computer all day

 doing various assignments.  

Kindred Spirits- A Century Apart

I love to read.  

Books.  

Mostly biographies and journals.  

I am not typically a journal writer myself. 

 Yet, if given the option 

between a journal and/or a collection of letters

 or the latest fiction, 

I will choose the journal and letters every time. 

Waking Up

 

It has been a long winter. 

 Your kindness and encouragement 

have helped me through it.  

My journey to find the source and conquer chronic, severe headaches led to answers,

 but no real solutions.  

In the meantime, 

I've had a very interesting journey through the strange and unsettling side effects of some powerful prescription meds.

The Silent Time

One- sixth of the new year has 

passed in silence 

on this blog.  

Not, of course, in my life. 

 I told someone that I had nothing to say, 

but that isn't really true.  

There are just some things that seem to have captured my attention and have taken my coherent thoughts from me.

Remember Pearl

A friend had a book proposal returned

 with the explanation that, 

"People today, would not be able to relate to her stories of growing up in the 1940's". 

This did not make any sense to me. 

If that is true, then what does that say about those who have followed what has been dubbed 

"The Greatest Generation"? 

When I mentioned that today was 

"Pearl Harbor Day",

my daughter said, 

"Oh." 

I realized then, that I needed to make sure the youngest of my children understands

 what that means.
