I love the Theodore Roosevelt quote – that’s a good idea to memorise it. And your Kindle case is lovely, but I agree, three years doesn’t seem like a long time for a Kindle to last. I think I got mine in about 2012 and it is still going strong!

A friend of mine died this past month, too, she was OK, then she was weirdly ill and no one knew what was wrong with her, she rallied and then died. Hideously, her husband died suddenly last year, so now her four children are orphans (the youngest is 24). It’s hard as she was woven into the things I do locally (a local councillor, which is how I know her, and helping with our community centre project like I was).

In happier letting go news, I have found a home for my mother-in-law’s piano – she and her husband have moved into a nursing home and the house is being sold to pay for it, and there was the piano. I took that burden from my husband and his brother and Plan B appears to have worked …

It’s fascinating and a little discouraging sometimes how one day can hold so much happiness and sadness together.

What a lovely gesture to give you a prized possession. It could be a lovely idea to incorporate into my own life.
I love my Kindle and have a Paperwhite too but I too feel the need for a change. Let’s see if I can drop my husband enough of hints!
AI does make our life easier – I got it to make a set of affirmations for September based on my WOTY and my theme of the month.

I had to get a new Kindle a few years ago, and I updated to the new paperwhite at that time, and I don’t love it. I will use it until it dies, but I loved my older model better, it was more user friendly. I am SO sorry about the loss of your friend. While its great she is no longer suffering, it is always painful to say our good-byes.

When our Kindle (that lasted for 25 years) decided to finally give up the ghost, we also went with the Kindle Paperwhite. Carroll especially loves it.

I’m sorry about the loss of your friend. What a special way to remember her.

Your in-laws are amazing!

We saw a family member pass into glory this week, like you it was much quicker than we thought.
I posted a tribute to her on my blog.
I enjoyed your family video.
Blessings, Jennifer

I love it that you are memorizing that quote. I have memorized things but never really considered finding a memorable saying like this to tuck into my heart. What a good idea. mmm, not to find just the right one. You certainly found a very powerful inspiring one.

I’m so sad to hear about your dear friend, Marcia. Gifts given at the end of life are so precious; it says a lot that she trusted you with something from her mother. I had to update my Kindle this year, and it’s nice to have it working well. 🙂 And I always enjoy your one-second videos.

How lovely that you have such a beautiful heirloom to help keep the memory of her near. It sounds like a lovely birthday celebration. You can never go wrong with brownie sundaes!
