It seems that blogging is fading away, being replaced by the ‘instant’ connection of social media. I think we are missing blogging. I think we need a deeper connection from time to time and that is what blogging has always offered. The reason I write here is to reach out to others who may be experiencing some of the things that I am… in particular to the upcoming wave of baby boomers who are just beginning to enter this often challenging stage of life that I like to call ‘Elderhood’. I am happy to share this transition with you and I do hope that, if you feel so inclined, that you will do the same with me. :) Janet

This is so beautiful Janet, reading your poem I can feel the friendship, it brought me in. And I love the photo on top especially.
Thank you so much, Masha…. I’m so glad that’s how you felt, 🙂
Onion soup, apple pie and friendship … heartwarming and grounding. Aren’t we lucky!
Yes, sometimes I can’t believe how lucky we are …. 🙂
