I'm pondering a dip in the local pond. Perhaps a 32 degree dip will inspire me.

I'll be interested in hearing your thoughts, but don't forget to mark it SPOILER! (Sorry being the poobah of an online book group instills bad habits.) <br /><br />What was your opinion of Proof of Heaven? I have it on my wish list.<br /><br />My sister works as a RN in a hospice and she has shared many of the same experiences of which you speak. She states that often the exact moment of death is something of beauty. I salute both of you for having the emotional strength, courage, and wisdom to serve this in this capacity. <br /><br />Interesting comment on journaling. I used to keep a journal and it fell by the wayside. When I started to blog I had the thought that I would journal and those entries fit for public consumption would then go to the blog. Well it didn't quite work that way. I no longer possess the desire to journal. I enjoy blogging when I feel that I have something to say. I found that blogging keeps me grounded in reality. I could at times while journaling allow myself to descend into a level of naval gazing that was not healthy. It served me when I was navigating mid-life crises, but now on the threshold of the "golden years" I am not sure journaling is what I want to do. Perhaps I have "advanced" to the stage where I am willing to make ass of myself in public, although I do insist on hiding behind the skirts of anonymity. The "real me" could only write the stuff I do in a journal. Strange the "real me" is nothing but a sanitized facade of Sextant (a name that incorporates two of the grand interests in my life).<br /><br />Elizabeth, I am glad that you busted through your writer's block. You are a grand spirit and have much to share with the world. Blogging is part of your ministry. I enjoy your thoughts. <br /><br /><br /><br /> Sextanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02869179401767968180noreply@blogger.com
