The other day, when I decided that maybe I had been too harsh on mid-period Sting.

Until then, I had thought that the goal of a business person was to get ahead in a big company, but at Harvard I learned that starting a business was the greatest possible achievement in business. In the United States, people who start small companies are praised.

This morning I decided I am not going to take a job that I’ve been offered.

July 2018, when I married my third husband, Roger, after two years of proclaiming that marriage at 76 was stupid.

Talking about the hardships of my mother’s life – she would not approve.

Did I behave in the right way?

For the words to fly from my fingers as just occasionally they do.

Sorry is such an underrated word – I use it liberally.

Life’s too short to take offence.

My parents died within four days of each other. I was engulfed as I ran from one bedside to another.
