“Every work of literature has both a situation and a story. The situation is the context or circumstance, sometimes the plot; the story is the emotional experience that preoccupies the writer: the insight, the wisdom, the thing one has come to say.” Vivian Gornick—The Situation and the Story 📝❤️💁‍♀️

Sunday is my day to reboot, a day I don't have to

Sunday is my day to reboot, a day I don't have to hustle back to my desk in time to clock in for my virtual day. Sunday is the day I take my time with my miles, pausing to take pictures, stopping to talk to people. This morning’s run features a pretty spectacular array of South Florida weather: clouds, rainbows, sun showers.
⠀
On my way back, I see the same woman, slight, stooped, and gray-haired, the ever-present binoculars slung round her neck. She’s staring into the heavy foliage a few yards from the beach. When I ask what she’s found, she points to a vivid blue crab resting in the greenery and explains his habitat to me. Together we watch him silently for a while, the blueness of him glowing against the green, and I feel whole, fresh and new again. 🏃‍♀️❤️📝

As I take a lunch break from my tutor appointments

As I take a lunch break from my tutor appointments today, I’m reminded of the peanut butter wars. My dad and I debated the merits of chunky peanut butter versus smooth for YEARS. These conversations often became somewhat heated as each of us wanted to win the argument. Many peanut butter insults were hurled. For some reason, last year, my dad broke down and tried the chunky variety. I think he bought it by accident, and his peanut butter jones was so great, he was forced to succumb. I’m sure that I don’t need to tell you that he has never looked back. Chunky peanut butter win! 🤣🥜😋🤷‍♀️

"Writing memoir is everything comfortable and beloved all rolled into one. It’s what fits me best. It’s not that I find my life all that intriguing. Rather as I write, the mundane takes on a new shape, becomes something else, something more interesting . . ." The Memory Keeper: A Memoir on Life, Love, and Travel
