What would you recommend if somebody
- goes for a walk and is intercepted, again, by a neighbor who seems to want to be more than just a neighbor?
- spills very hot tea on their hand and leg?
- has trouble sleeping about twice a week?
- has to return to the place where they caught COVID three years ago during the week before lockdown?
- holds the irrational belief that when things are going really well something really bad will happen?
- feels uncomfortable giving and asking for advice?
- has (perhaps) unrelated images to share today?

What would you recommend for the best way to end a blog post?
Before I retired from the library earlier this year, Ann, I spotted and read the new novels from Michael Connelly and John Sandford. “Desert Star” and “Righteous Prey” are thumbs-up from me on this big book day. One of the adjustments I’m making is not being able to spot the latest from my favorite authors put out on the shelves right in front of me when I report to work each day, Ann, or pick out a new author by reading the book flap information. I have to go back and visit more often and get more accustomed to searching more routinely online.
I appreciate all your recommendations, my friend.

In answer to your very first question, I’d recommend telling the neighbor that your walks are a time for private contemplation – a walking meditation – that you really need. Explain that your life is quite full and you cherish your private time alone. And if they don’t hear you, emphasize “private” and meditation.
Thank you for that helpful recommendation!
For about the past year or so, I’ve been listening to recorded books in the domestic suspense / psychological thriller genre, full of twists and turns. The best ones are those where I don’t correctly guess how it will turn out; I greatly admire those authors. I recently finished The Housemaid by Frieda McFadden (which I was surprised and pleased to see on the NY Times bestseller list), and now I’m listening to the sequel: The Housemaid’s Secret.
Thanks for those recommendations, Debbie!
I would say, ‘I hear you and understand it might be scary, but somethings we don’t have control over and the great majority of it will be okay. the other stuff will only be temporary.’
I appreciate all your commendations, beth.
