Quote to Pass Along From Betsy

"If you live to be one hundred,
I want to live to be one hundred minus one day,
So I never have to live without you"

Memoir Recommendation

I am currently reading The Gift of an Ordinary Day: A Mother's Memoir by Katrina Kenison. It is beautifully written (she's a book editor of the annual Best American Short Stories collection) and deals with issues of raising kids (she has two teenage boys), empty nesting, and midlife issues. It is inspiring and uplifting (if I don't think about how I wish I'd parented more like she did). Highly recommend! 50% off at Barnes and Noble at the moment.
