Old Age Day by Day February 20, 2011

Well, everything is soaked and flooded and moldy, and today is sunny, so maybe our yards and our minds will dry out. It was yucky even to get to the movie yesterday, but it was a terrific film and we were gratified afterward and had tea at my friend's house and talked about it at length. "After the Rain" is the title, and it is a film from Spain, but about an uprising in Bolivia a few years ago over water rights. Don't miss it.

And here we are, today, after the rain. Last night I was in the shower with bleach and a rag trying to clean grout. My hands still smell like bleach. I must have spring cleaning fever. It's a better way to occupy my time than a lot of activities. My husband is working on various tasks as well.

i"m reading Karen Armstrong's new book about 12 steps to a compassionate life. I find her very informative and readable. She is good at the big picture stuff. I hope the book influences people to attempt reconciliation and tolerance. I'm hopeful.
