Very insightful, Elizabeth. And thank you for reminding us, lest we forget.
I can remember being younger and far more likely to pass judgement quickly…but age, and the revelation of my fallibility, have helped me to evolve on some level, I hope.
I love the surprise of finding something unexpected and admirable in something I may have dismissed subconsciously as banal.
Thank you Jenn! This one's been playing around in my mind for a while. I often find the way to push me to change is write about it and put it out in the world! 😊
Ahhh, I relate to this. Thank you for this lovely post.
I wonder if it's a particular affliction of the young - to judge others, yourself. In a desperate bid to find your place in the world, you cling to how things 'should' be. How people 'should' be. How you 'should' be.
I am definitely on the same path as Tracy Lord as I get older. The realization that nothing really is certain and set. We all change and grow. Thought provoking as ever Elizabeth! (I've also never seen the film but love Katherine Hepburn, so will seek it out!)
Older = wiser certainly is a truism, Shell! I'm so glad you enjoyed the post.
Do watch the movie if you can find it—I'm a huge fan of old black-and-white films, especially from the 1930s and '40s, and I never tire of them. His Girl Friday is another great Cary Grant movie, the one with Rosalind Russell. The speed and wit of the dialogue is truly outstanding!
Yes to frozen peas! I think we forget that good frozen vegetables are captured at the height of the season and are a great way to enjoy “seasonal” throughout the year—just as tinned tomatoes are superior to their rock-hard winter cousins. :-)
Elizabeth, this is a truly wonderful piece in which @duckandcake reminds us that reading deep into our own generosity will allow us the gifts our friends have yet to unfold
I always forget the magic in pairing mint with peas…haven’t tried this in soup yet
So nice and fresh!

I forgot about that! Loved that show ❤️

Ahhh, well this sounds like a perfect Sunday afternoon activity!
So true, that we should keep on observing and evolving.
Fresh peas are the best, though their season very short. Luckily frozen ones come pretty close.

Yes, they can be as tasty. Also, I agree about the tinned vs. hard-rock tomatoes.

Thank you Ellen—I’m so glad this resonated with you! ❤️
