June has been such a busy month for our book club members that we cancelled our monthly meeting. Our next book club is July 10, 2009, and the book is “American Wife,” by Curtis Sittenfeld. This is a fictional account of Laura Bush and will be our first book with strong political content.
Some of the book club members had children graduate from high school this month (three of us had our first-born children graduate). Some members children graduated from college and other children have announced their engagements. Time continues its endless march forward leaving these permanent life-altering markers on the road.
These markers usually cause us some reflection as they marshal in change – good or bad, but always eventful. In my case reflection usually occurs much later as I am so involved adapting to my new situation in my usual helter-skelter manner.
So to all my wonderful book club members I say congratulations on your new markers – I hope you find peace and acceptance with them, as well as joy.
