If your care giving duties allow you time to read.....................I'm interested in what book you are in the middle of or just finished or have waiting on your bedside table.
I'm reading "Total Control" by David Baldacci
It's a crime/thriller drama. Quite compelling.
If you can't find the time to read, you should try. It helps to escape from it all in a good book.
The Beauty of the Unity and the Harmony of the Whole: The Concept of Theosis in the Theology of Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite
Making Senses Out of Scripture: Reading the Bible as the First Christians Did
That sounds like an interesting read. Enjoy!
It is interesting to read different perspectives on life. Personally, I don’t wish to be a martyr when it comes to accepting pain. I have a low tolerance for pain. I don’t wish to hit my threshold and suffer needlessly.
I feel many people put off getting hospice for far too long, when they could be utilizing palliative or comfort care services sooner than they do.
I am not enamored of the author's personal story of her OWN pain journey, but the history of pain is fascinating, and I find in reading this that it is interesting to look at your own pains, when they hit, and perhaps a "why" they do so. Recommend this one. Author is Melanie Thernstrom.
"If you don't see the book you want on the shelf, write it."
I just saw her being interviewed on a show that I was watching. She’s an interesting woman, an advocate for the aging population.
You can read about her on thischairrocks.com
(I think it's worth mentioning that this was published in 2015)
Lessons in Chemistry was another recent read and pretty good, too.
I never mind a true, juicy villain but Rabbit is just tiresome. Try the Flashman novels instead.
So I hit my own bookshelves, looking for something I haven't read in some time. Decades ago for The Caine Mutiny, but it's just as good this time as last time. A classic! Has anyone read it, or watched the movie lately! I have the dvd waiting until after the book!
The book I requested, for those with inquiring minds, is Stone 588, a story about a miracle cure for almost anything in the form of a small stone! Couldn't we all wish to have that for real in our hands! God bless, and stay strong, Caregivers!
The author writes a good story but I with the latest novels I really have trouble reconciling the flaws in her character's time lines. Wiki says Paretsky bumped V.I.'s birth date up to 1957 because she was aging out of her more athletic exploits, but IMO she's still too resilient for belief and many of her other mainstay characters - especially the dogs! - are much too hale and hearty for their supposed histories.
Loved it in the movie format. Beautiful scenery.
I am the type of reader who reads until done, and I cannot take that much time away from activities of daily living.

The Elephant Whisperer
My life with the herd in the African wild
By Lawrence Anthony and Graham Spence
It is a great read and all the things I described above.
Definitly keeping this in my library for future reading.
Wonder what future students will be reading The Covid..?
