The Simple Woman's Daybook . . .

 

 

FOR TODAY, March 30, 2021

Outside my window ...
The sun is shining and it looks like it is going to be a beautiful day. There is not a cloud in the sky.

I am thinking ...
Its our semi-annual church General Conference this weekend. I am really looking forward to watching and listening to all the talks.  It is hard to believe that this is the third one held during lockdown.

I am thankful for ...

If I Forget You, by Thomas Christopher Greene 
Two former lovers reconnect in this beautiful and haunting tale of great lost love from the critically acclaimed author of The Headmaster's Wife.

Twenty-one years after they were driven apart by circumstances beyond their control, two former lovers have a chance encounter on a Manhattan street. What follows is a tense, suspenseful exploration of the many facets of enduring love. Told from altering points of view through time, If I Forget You tells the story of Henry Gold, a poet whose rise from poverty embodies the American dream, and Margot Fuller, the daughter of a prominent, wealthy family, and their unlikely, star-crossed love affair, complete with the secrets they carry when they find each other for the second time.

 Written in lyrical prose, If I Forget You is at once a great love story, a novel of marriage, manners, and family, a meditation on the nature of art, a moving elegy to what it means to love and to lose, and how the choices we make can change our lives forever. 

Looking forward to ... 
General Conference! 

Dreaming about ...

  1. I love jujubes, my downfall in the candy aisle. Time Goes By if a favourite of ours to watch, along with lots of other British shows. It’s a lovely sunny day today, temperatures rising as the day goes on. March is coming to an end tomorrow, will it be a lion or a lamb? We’ll know tomorrow.
