Hi everyone! We are joining Comedy Plus’ Awww….Mondays .
Dusty is posing with two good books I just finished reading.
In Connecting Dots: A Blind Life by Joshua A. Miele , the author tells of being burned with acid by a crazy neighbor when he was four years old which led to many burns and blindness. Despite that, he has lived a meaningful life and even won a MacArthur Genius award.
And The Well -Lived Life : A 102-Year-Old Doctor’s Six Secrets to Health and Happiness at Every Age by Gladys McGarey was excellent. The book was published in 2023, and she passed away soon after, but clearly her tips must be good if she managed to live that long. They were mainly about a positive attitude and connecting with others. Simple, but wise advice. She is considered the mother of holistic medicine.
Today is Memorial Day in the United States. I am thankful to all who gave their lives to keep us safe.
Around here, it is also a day to remember all who have passed. In my family, we put flowers at the graves of my maternal grandparents, my great-aunt, my dad, my hubby’s dad and Jerry (my mom’s significant other who passed in 2018). I am curious, does anyone else do that?
Rosie will be here tomorrow with all the latest.
A very cute picture of Dusty! My mother and I did always visit the grave of my grandfather on Memorial Day. He had passed when young, but from natural causes. An important but sad holiday. XO
