Cheating on blogs

I reviewed 2019 with my cousin and was reminded what a wild and stressful year it was. So here it is 2020 and... what? I'm locked in my house!  Well, not quite but I just returned from what was supposed to be two months of glorious spring and visits with old friends. Instead, I made  a mad dash for home, sleeping on a blow-up pad in my car. More to save time than avoidance of The Virus that will not be named.

Lovely lagoon by Pensacola Beach, Florida

And two days after the dash from Florida...

Spring snowfall in the Black Hills!

But when I can pull myself away from video chats my grandchildren and watching a truly entertaining Schnauzer dispense advice on Facebook, I'm writing. I'm on a roll with my book (on childhood wounding/trauma) and I'm working on the bibliography.

A sampling of books to review and quote. Except the one by https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ugqeBZfE_m43U5FS0savJcbjb2f06Yy-/view?usp=sharingAlice Miller- she's way too academic!

 But not just a boring list of books that may or may not be relevant. I'm finding quotes and offering why this was helpful reviews. It's work and it's time consuming because all books suck me in and there goes another two hours.

Ooo—there's that book I haven't actually read next to the one I was looking for... and there goes the evening.  I know—first world, non-essential worker "problem".

If it's going to be winter in April, I'm at least enjoying a fire. 

So in my research for quotes, I ran into a few cool blogs and I'm going to cheat and link them to this one! So if you want to share the fruit of my scattered inner world, I welcome you to visit the website and blog of one of my favorite authors, Macrina Weiderkehr. And her list of books could be my list of books—except she has some I've never heard of...so  I'll have to go look those up!

Meanwhle, enjoy. And do check out her dead blog cemetary post. I can competely relate!

I love finding kindred spirits and when you can pass on their wisdom and writings to others, it's a win-win day!  If we're all stuck alone, the internet can be a complete waste of time or a source of refreshment and community.  Hope you enjoy!
