pickThe caption captures how I feel about this book. I‘m a Sarton fan & still plan to read all her books.I relate to much of her life perspective & the journal includes gems of wisdom. But, her behavior during this year bothered me. She seemed to lack insight into her actions, doing the same things over and over that bothered her & then complaining about it. Guess she was honest but I wanted to pull her aside & say: “Why do you keep this up?” ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love her and want to reach out and offer her some advice as I am reading this.
To remain in the flow of my thought process about my age and stage and to remain in the company of an intriguing woman, I decided to read this. It was such a great choice. It is so delightful.
bailedWhat I expected was a journal about nature and living on the coast of Maine. Sarton‘s postings were thin on the natural world and rich on social and writing engagements. Not to my liking.
Starting this today with a little visitor. Seems totally appropriate with Sarton‘s journal. This may be the author I‘ve been searching for since I read Greener Pastures several decades ago. Fingers crossed.

I've always kept a journal and love reading other people's journals. I read most of May Sarton's journals a long time ago but someone mentioned her the other day so I decided to see which ones are available on Overdrive.
In this one she writes about her life in Maine with her dog Tamas and cat Bramble, gardening, friends, books...
Also I cooked fish. 😊
