Isn't it wonderful how we writers provide each other with raw material for our own stories? The thoughts and feelings that arise from reading other Substacks often gives me ideas for a future post.

I'm going to try journaling (again). Good luck to us both!

Thoroughly absorbing. A lot I can identify with. Age being one of them. In a couple of weeks I will be 76 which I can hardly believe. I’ve still got so much to do… Hubs is 79 and has stoically fought cancer twice in the past 18 months, and won! Age we are told is just a number, and could only have been said by someone very young or delusional. It comes with aches and pains and so much more baggage. The trick is to be grateful for what has passed and look forward to what is yet to be. I have loved reading your blogs, Prue. You have a knack of putting things into perspective, telling it how it is and being open hearted and open minded. If only more were of your caliber. Here’s to a happy and peaceful 2023, dear friend. xx

It's funny, Louise. I'm the most emotional, black and white, illogical person I know.

But putting my thoughts into words perhaps helps straighten out the curvy lines sometimes - unknots the tangles. Which is why I called my Substack the Knots in the String. there was this voice inside that said - 'here's a chance to unknot it!'

I'm gobsmacked that I make sense, thrilled that my words can give you perspective. I assure you, just being friends does it for me. Loving regards.
