Sunshine


It's a sunshiny morning, brisk but bright. The only plant leafing out are the honeysuckle bushes. Otherwise, still bare. I'm reading a book Boud recommended, Embracing Elderhood, by Howard Englander. I'm not very far into it but I am liking it. I enjoy his writing style and what he has to say.

I'm going to embrace my elderhood. I may have had a Freudian slip. I initially wrote embarrass my elderhood.

  3. The word ‘embarrass’ made me smile. Boud’s recommendation sounds like a very good one and Frieda looks very comfortable :)

  4. I recommended Elderhood by Dr. Louise Aronson. Never heard of this other but maybe I'll take your recommendation!

  6. I went to borrow your book and it's not in my library system. So I asked them to get it.

  8. Embarrassing your elderhood sounds fun. I shall see if I can embarrass my own.

  9. I am eagerly awaiting embarrassing my children in elderhood. One son will be horrified, the other will love it and encourage it.
    Elderhood. I should look that book up! Thanks for both suggestions from Boud and you.
