It’s been a faily rough past few weeks which may be prompting me to come to a decision: it is time for me to give up blogging and stick with those things dearest to my heart while there is yet time: get my two books of poetry printed by a publisher who can provide both a semi-hard cover and good quality paper, finish my autobiography, add to the true farm stories I think worth the telling, edit the few short fiction stories I’ve written, work on my autobiography and finish my incursion into the minds of the early Semites who wrote the Old Testament. How anybody can actually believe the Creator of this universe had anything to do with writing the Old Testament is beyond my understanding. Most people I meet appear to think I’m still pretty “hep” for someone who will start her ninetieth year of life before this year is over.
An hour or so ago, I finished watching a “documentary” movie of the life and times of Charles Darwin. As I sat in my lounge chair, pondering over what I had seen and heard, I could not help thinking what a truly fortunate old woman I am. I am absolutely and utterly free of any and all belief in the super-natural and the paranormal. I’ve come to the conclusion, that’s a wonderful way to live.
Just not sure at this time what to do. Mary

Dear Mary. You truly are a fortunate woman. You have free moral agency, are not a robot and have your vitality to do what you desire. I wish you happiness in all that you accomplish. Your friend. laceysquarepants [kathleen]
lacysquarepants: what a strange and delightful name you have chosen and I cannot help but wonder why the choice? Nevertheless, thank you for your good wishes, and, most of all for being my friend. Right now, there is not much more important in life to me than having friends. I had reason to put that to the test just today. Perhaps I might use that in a blog tomorrow. I really do not want to give it up, not at this time.
I would certainly miss you a great deal if you stopped blogging, but it sounds as if you have a lot of other projects to work on.
You are an inspiration to me in so many ways. Thank you, Mary. Much love XXXX
Well, Mary….I certainly will miss your poetry and stories..but most of all your wisdom. Sounds like you’ve got sooooooo very much to do; however. And I’d love to have a hard cover book of your works. So, I say…God Speed in your indeavors! (Yes I know what you think!) I’ve got a feeling you’ll still leave a few nuggets hear and then. I certainly do hope so!
Blessings, CordieB.
My, you have a lot of irons in the fire, as my mom used to say.
I’d hate to see you stop posting just as I’ve found your blog, but I understand how busy people must prioritize.
(Curiosity brought me here, after I came across an old comment from you on my blog, one I didn’t recall having seen before.)
