It’s Been A While

Good morning All.

It is a greyish Friday morning,

here in my beautiful ugly.

I don’t usually work,

on Fridays,

but, my hours at work,

have increased,

which I am frankly,

thrilled about.

I can handle more hours,

now,

I am in a better place.

I have been quite busy,

since I last wrote,

work projects,

church stuff,

took a class,

have started a bible study,

for the Lenten period.

Catherine and I have been,

spending quality time together,

life is slowly returning to,

a semblance of normality.

The savage and ongoing,

attack on the Ukraine,

is a tragedy for the people,

of Ukraine,

indeed for the whole world,

I pray for peace.

I have been reading,

a lot.

I have read two Joan Didion books,

her last book of essays,

published right after her death,

and this week I finished,

which is the second book of hers I read,

about death, grief, aging,

what a truly fantastic writer,

she is/was.

I am almost finished,

Gordon Parks’s : A Choice Of Weapons,

the first book in his memoirs.

I have long adored Parks’s,

photography,

and he is a wonderful,

writer, memoirist,

brutally honest,

but, kind, no axe to grind,

just truth as he sees it.

I have ordered the next,

three volumes,

and look forward to spending,

lots of time with Gordon.

The sky is getting lighter,

almost white,

apparently,

snow is coming.

Oh well, it’s March,

almost Spring.

Take good care,

you all,

hang in there,

soon,

the flowers,

will come.

Later girls,

BB
