Review # 1 was written on 2017-12-21 00:00:00 Jesse Butler I love this book. A book of regrets? I think not. This book is a beautiful collection of precious moments told from the mouths of women who know that the precious moments - even the painful ones - are fleeting. Life is short. Embrace all that it is and all that is has to offer and when you fall down, dust yourself off, out a wildflower in your hat and keep going...because one day you won't be able to. This is a book that will remain in my collection, to be read every Autumn, when life slows down a little, the passing of time is evident in the changing and falling leaves and Nature preps for the great sleep of Winter.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-01-04 00:00:00 Charles Stroop And then, there is poetry. I think it will save me. I chose to read this somewhat dated anthology of women's poetry this month as a break. That shows how bad things are getting, when a book about an old woman's regrets is uplifting. It has a great variety of short stories, essays and poems from all aspects of life, birth to death. "If I Had My Life to Live Over" by Nadine Stair "I'd dare to make more mistakes next time. I'd relax, I would limber up. I would be sillier than I have been this trip…I would perhaps have more actual troubles, but I'd have fewer imaginary ones…I've been one of those persons who never goes anywhere without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a raincoat and a parachute. If I had to do it again, I would travel lighter than I have." So here's to traveling lighter!
