pickThis is an extensive compilation of the history of mirrors with humanity, spanning centuries and millennia. It is A LOT of information. Very interesting! Love them or hate them, mirrors have quite the history—and it‘s still growing.

I know poetry and prose are always talked about separately but to me they always feel like one. Like many #writers this also shows Woolf's work. #PoetryMatters #vision
This is an extract from this month‘s #VirginiaBloomsberries , Woolf talks about the process of writing but I think this applies to many things, where we start of with an idea but the end product is not what we had quite envisioned but somehow we still find a way to carry on.
pickI love Frank Bruni‘s nonfiction. This was a lovely and thoughtful meditation on aging, illness and disability, resilience, what matters in life - all the things. Really enjoyed it.
Thank you, @TrishB! 😘😘😘
Not only an addition to the #YellowNFShelf, but also a book about my greatest fear. I suppose it's not only my greatest fear. Looking forward to reading it. 😘
Also appreciate that both books have 'seeing' as a common theme. 😉 Cassandra has been on my TBR for a while. 😁
Quarterly appointment with my Retinal specialist today, which is practically an all day thing due to travel, needing to have lunch so I don‘t starve, and DC traffic.
The vision in my left eye is as above, due to a retinal tear - I lost my reading spot in that eye as well, so I can only read with my right eye.
The good news is that both eyes are stable right now, and I can relax for another four months. Yay!
pickA great introspective reflection on blindness, disability, and aging.
pick(Last night at work - seems fitting for the title of this book.). I really enjoyed the audiobook. Bruni talks about the experience of losing his sight and what he has learned from it. I think readers who are older or have long-term medical issues would appreciate what he has to say. Bruni gives wonderful examples of folks who manage to do amazing things with and despite their own setbacks. I may check in with this one again as I continue to age.
