7 minute Audio Introduction to The Mom & Me Journals
is to undermine the isolation of the caregiving experience
by offering all, especially our loved ones, a window into our lives.
As I post to this journal I think of our loved ones and their families,
how busy and involved we all are, and that,
if and when they come to this site they can be assured
that they will miss nothing in our lives and will, thereby, recognize us
and relax easily into our arms and our routines
when we are again face to face.

Oh, and Saturday...
...amazing. Again. Or, no, I guess Sunday was the "again". The first "amazing" day was actually Friday. My mother's hair stylist had introduced me to the BBC production of Pride and Prejudice some months ago. I had mentioned to her that I had loved it, it made the story more accessible to me and I was going to look for the VHS set at Costco. In fact, I believe Hugh Grant, who has worked with Emma Thompson in several of her adaptations of Jane Austen's novels, said, during his interview on Inside the Actors Studio he thought Thompson's adaptations were better than the original novels.
The VHS edition hasn't yet returned to Costco. But Friday my treasured mother's stylist brought her entire VHS set and offered it to me. She said she'd picked up the DVD and she knew it would probably be ages before we got a DVD player down here.
I cannot be blamed for feeling so favorably expectant. If I was not afraid to say it out loud, I would announce that I am being blessed. And, I am expecting more.
