You survived, your garden thrives, you read books that speak of what you know to be true. I admire and celebrate you.

I know exactly what you are saying. I read this book earlier this year. I had much the same response you did. <br /><br />You have done what we must do to go on. You have planted and hoped others will reap from that which you have planted. You will share food, a meal, thoughts, emotions, thoughts about loss, and ultimately you will know that life doesn't always work out as we had planned, but we do go on. <br />Sally Wesselyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470453773515491625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8269120272474965191.post-91291321329193442002012-09-20T16:17:33.697-07:002012-09-20T16:17:33.697-07:00hmmm sounds good

I feel there are enough things in life to cry about, so I choose books and movies that make me laugh, fascinate me with how people lived in the 1500s to the 1700s, or boggle my mind with mystery.<br /><br />And to answer your question from yesterday...we're downsizing because we have applied for senior housing. We're on a waiting list, but eventually will be moving to a one bedroom apt.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03803472040500529682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8269120272474965191.post-69267844994496851672012-09-20T11:18:33.499-07:002012-09-20T11:18:33.499-07:00I love Marilynne Robinson, but I have not read thi...I love Marilynne Robinson, but I have not read this book.

It goes right to the top of my next book list! I just finished 'Gone Girl' .. if you haven't read it, I do recommend it!
