Book Review



I just finished this book today.
It was an easy and fun read.
The elderly always make me smile... I like their stories...I respect their mannerisms.
They have seen so much throughout their lifetime...
They have "been there and done that"...
In my experience...people commonly have less "filtering" the older we get,
becoming much more direct... open... straight to the point...
I love this type of raw human nature...it is simply refreshing!
The woman who interviews the "Centenarians" does a program for "National Public Radio (NPR)" and initially doesn't have much experience with the elderly.
It is fun to watch her geriatric insight sprout and bloom paralleled with the "Centenarian" stories of the past and the present.
My interest is further peaked by a reference book the author mentions, "A General Theory of Love". I plan to add it to my library list...it focuses on "the biological basis for human emotions...love". She refers to the term "limbic resonance"... Hmmm can't wait to explore that one!

I don't drive his truck as well as I should to go out on my own for the day, besides a good insightful partner would probably make my journey a little easier. I called my step-mom and she said she would be right over and take me wherever I needed to go. As I got ready to go my husband and my boys were ...

Long Time No Post

Life has been a whirlwind of activity, work, travel, family events and motion. While I embrace life in forward motion it is a special jewel when a moment of calm presents itself. So many people are caught in a whirlwind of, "life in motion" these days... As I talk with friends and family members my prayer list grows ever longer and my spirit can struggle to "focus on the positive"... In my heart I truly believe that focusing on the positive and working through the challenges is the best way to navigate this life. I have so very much that I am grateful for... so many blessings... God will help manage the rest:-)
