Good month. Even though it was a book review, Listening To Dementia, was really powerful.
Thanks, Floyd. Listening to dementia is a haunting thought that doesn’t easily leave me either….
Hi Lisa! I was looking over your blog posts, and I thin I read about every one of them. Like Floyd said, ‘Good month!’ Isn’t it fun to look back and see what you’ve written about? It’s like a review of your life for that month. I think our writing definitely reflects who we are and what we’re doing at the time. It’s really like a public diary.
Hope you had a great weekend!

Yes, it is like a mini-journal, Ceil, albeit a very public one. 😉 I do these end-of-the-month posts just for myself so I can see a month at a glance when I’m going back looking for something. It’s amazing how easy it is to forget even the things we write ourselves. ha.
I did have a great weekend. Hope you did, too. My oldest daughter and s-i-l were here and we had a great time (except I ate too much chocolate chip pie and banana pudding). Here’s to a new week ahead (and less food, hopefully).
