The Aged Woman

Thank you, mom. Thank you Verna, Betty, Diane, Nancy, Grace, Karen, Carol, Isabel, and oh yes, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Tina…

I looked to the work ahead of me with a soul that had waited my whole life to be fifty-seven…

I am a soft person, but I feel a need to attack my goals. 2023. Dare I say, “May the attack be with you?”

I had not been sick like this…I haven’t had a day like this since 1978. Or was it 1987?

No multi-tasking except for moments when I fried bacon while reading a presidential autobiography.

Please, please “give a hoot.” The gifts of the season are not always the prettiest or most convenient…

In a world of stock markets and business results, the power of romantic self-awareness..

When I read, at home in the woods…

The concept of rest, I think, is the mental jump in the kaleidoscope of fallen leaves..

Up ahead lie my lake of ghosts and memories. “Papa,” I whispered into the lake’s breeze.
