If your care giving duties allow you time to read.....................I'm interested in what book you are in the middle of or just finished or have waiting on your bedside table.
I'm reading "Total Control" by David Baldacci
It's a crime/thriller drama. Quite compelling.
If you can't find the time to read, you should try. It helps to escape from it all in a good book.
Just finished Rob Delaney's memoir about the death of his son, A Heart that Works. Be ready to weep, but there are things in this, such as what a one year old toddling about in diapers is, that I will never forget. I read it in one night.
So I have found a free pdf of James Herriot's "All Creatures Great and Small" and am enjoying it. I liked the original TV series but haven't gotten into the recent version. I also found Bloom County Bill the Cat ("Ack"), Calvin and Hobbes, and Pogo. Years ago we all loved these.
The Great Age Reboot is interesting and such a contrast to much of what we see here. It's encouraging.
Earlier this morning I was reading somewhere about a serial killer whose wife was given an emergency divorce when he was arrested. Don't know how I got there.
EERIE and STRANGE!

Oh, yea, I put it here because it is based on Anne Rice's book.
I totally disregard what any celebrities recommend.
It's inspired by David Copperfield by Charles Dickens. So far - halfway through - I'd call it Depressing Copperhead. But Oprah must have liked it because she chose it for her book club.
The Beauty of the Unity and the Harmony of the Whole: The Concept of Theosis in the Theology of Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite
Making Senses Out of Scripture: Reading the Bible as the First Christians Did
That sounds like an interesting read. Enjoy!
It is interesting to read different perspectives on life. Personally, I don’t wish to be a martyr when it comes to accepting pain. I have a low tolerance for pain. I don’t wish to hit my threshold and suffer needlessly.
I feel many people put off getting hospice for far too long, when they could be utilizing palliative or comfort care services sooner than they do.
I am not enamored of the author's personal story of her OWN pain journey, but the history of pain is fascinating, and I find in reading this that it is interesting to look at your own pains, when they hit, and perhaps a "why" they do so. Recommend this one. Author is Melanie Thernstrom.
"If you don't see the book you want on the shelf, write it."
I just saw her being interviewed on a show that I was watching. She’s an interesting woman, an advocate for the aging population.
You can read about her on thischairrocks.com
(I think it's worth mentioning that this was published in 2015)
Lessons in Chemistry was another recent read and pretty good, too.
