And the Words: “The man Jack sniffed the air. Then, without hurrying, he began to walk up the hill.” – From Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book.

~~*

Jack didn’t want to visit the old graveyard. The gravestones were broken, laying at drunken angles giving a depressing air to the whole scene. Most graves were so old that they had sunk half into the ground. The man, Jack sniffed the air. Then, without hurrying, he began to walk up the hill. He had decided to shift his business to someplace which wasn’t so dreary. Though he was a gravestone engraver by profession, he also had to think of his mental state. He knew that there was a village up the hill and was hoping to find work there.

I am writing to express my opinion, share my experiences and to maybe provide some insight. My blog is addressing women at 50 ( but men are welcome to read my posts) ,their issues and the questions that come up at this stage in life. I don’t aim to teach, but to learn together.
