Rebecca, a wonderful post, as always. So, forgive numbered list but it will be easier for you to refer to my comments if you so wish.

1. Congrats on 100 subscribers. That's fantastic, and well-deserved.

2. I can't go past a secondhand bookshop without wandering in. In fact, whenever Elaine and I are out somewhere and she suddenly realises that she's been talking to herself for the last five minutes, she only has to retrace her steps or ask someone where the nearest secondhand bookshop is in order to find me.

3. Your husband's book looks really good.

4. I definitely think each of us needs to set aside time for ourselves. For me that is another meaning of 'Charity begins at home': you can't nourish others if you haven't nurtured yourself.

I love everything about this post, Rebecca, and wow--that book with your husband’s photos looks wonderful! Congrats to him on the nomination. Very exciting!

I agree with your notion on secondhand bookstores. A book has life not when purchased but when read and shared. Something to think on this week.

Congrats on hitting 100--I only got there last month and also reached it organically. Substack is a wonderful place to share our words.
