It's better to be like you and be positive about where I am now and be thankful for what I have and what I can do.<br />I think I'd enjoy the book. It was a good idea to build the little shed.HollyMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18161858859864895000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708111215873269960.post-10719920535674317532016-07-29T17:21:42.209-05:002016-07-29T17:21:42.209-05:00I think they're very useful to remind us how v...I think they're very useful to remind us how very far we've come, too, Debbie. I am sorry I'm not physically able to do some of the things I did, but I'd rather have the life I have now, and the ME I am now.Kate (Cathy Johnson)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03296053923338246127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708111215873269960.post-18772137426236174392016-07-29T08:48:04.510-05:002016-07-29T08:48:04.510-05:00I understand the bittersweet nostalgia of reading ...I understand the bittersweet nostalgia of reading old journals, looking at my life now, and being honest about present day limitations, compared to just a couple years ago. I've kept journals since in my teens, though they were not of the artist-type until recently. They are so precious, and are able to remind me of the person I once was; journals are truly priceless in that respect. I appreciate the fact you built that cabin when you were "not young." I am amazed at your vitality, Kate, as you are very active, always looking for more projects, etc. I know you feel the difference between your abilities to be active as you grow "more mature," but you are FAR more active and engaged in life than most other people ... Of ANY age. I so enjoy your posts this past month. And seeing today's post, I'm going to see if I can find it through our local library system, since it is out of print. God bless, Kate. Happy Trails!

So glad you have your little cabin in the returning woods. It has to be such a joy to still have a wild place to retreat to. :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708111215873269960.post-63578987918424562962016-07-27T17:14:00.380-05:002016-07-27T17:14:00.380-05:00I would love to build a shed like that out on my p...I would love to build a shed like that out on my parents' seven acres. Sometimes you just need to get away from the man-made environment. I know what you mean about wondering who that younger person was, and mourning some losses.

Good to have it, again. In the meantime, I had fun re-reading the Cabin chapter in One Square Mile. I love that owl that was healing in the cage. Those eyes of his!!I am so glad that you have the old cabin, but equally glad you have the shed in your backyard for the times when it isn't a good idea to go to your cabin. anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06021356337010751802noreply@blogger.com
