Learning it is more important to be socially appropriate than to be funny. I do not need to be the funniest person in the room. It is better to be the kindest person in the room.

Still quiet. Placid peacefulness in a life without emotional volcanic eruptions. Less angst. Much less guilt.

All is quiet on the Glen Head front. Silence is golden and if you have nothing nice to say, don't say it at all.

All quiet on the Western front - or at least the Glen Head front. Sent Christmas card to Ida - just floating it out there.

No harm done. Trying very hard to feel gratitude rather than the urge to be judgmental. It is an uphill battle but oen that is worthwhile.

Status quo with ma mere but okay on the other fronts. Inspired by spending time with Aunt Marie - I drink in her gentleness and loving warmth.

Am on my best behavior - Thanksgiving went beautifully. Still feel like I got flattened by a tractor trailer.

Toxic 89 year old mother - toxic conversations. I am too old for this.

Very dark days even with power restored. Cannot seem to control verbal impulses. There is no excuse.

No lights. No heat for 9 days. Driving people crazy by refusing help but nothing inappropriate came out of my frozen mouth.
