I like her works. Just came to know about her but did find out she won the Pulitzer in 1975 and she wrote well--well, most of the time. I like her quote and used it in FB "There is no shortage of good days. It is good lives that are hard to come by!" This speaks volumes to me. I read her quotes on the web. Provocative. Robert Benson adds another quote which put me on to her in the first place: "How we spend our days is how we spend our lives. What we are doing with this hour and with that one is what we are doing."
We need people who inspire us in our lives. If I had to make a list of the top 5 people who have inspired me, it would be simple --First and second would be Daddy and Mama Cooper, 3rd would be Warren Hearnes; fourth would be Dr. Mark Scully and fifth would be a tie between forty other people. I have been lucky to have such people in my life.
Two people, in different settings, told me this week that I had been a major role in their lives and thanked me for it: Joan Gohn and Debbie Bickings. That was a wonderful Christmas present to get --the most wonderful.
It will inspire me to search for the good life.
