Blogs I Love

There are many blogs I love and read every day they post. Cee, Mark, Red, Marilyn, Calen, Relax, Geek, Zombie, Lydia, Mom,  Jane, Anton, Barbwit, Roger, Okcforgottenman, John,  Leland, A. Swiss, Chic and a dozen others that have slipped my memory right now–you know who you are. Many I have reblogged articles or poems from, and I rave about them daily, so those are not the blogs I’m going to mention today.  Rather, I’d like to mention a blog i just discovered.

“Transcribing Memory” is a relatively new blog.  This URL http://transcribingmemory.com/2015/12/14/the-many-twitches-of-fate-that-bring-us-here/ is from today’s entry, but I would suggest going back to the beginning.  There are just a few entries. The theme of the blog is a lifetime of journals of a 96-year-old woman, the mother-in-law of the blogger.  Together, they are going through the journals that seem to begin in her teenage years.  Babu, the grandmother, comments on them, as does the blogger, who does not give her name.  The original statements in the journal, the grandmother’s reactions as she reads them and the blogger’s own  comments are so tender and insightful. You see the blogger getting closer to and recognizing new connections with her grandmother-in-law, who has lived in the house of the blogger and her husband for their entire marriage. Who hasn’t wanted to peek into someone else’s diary?  This is your chance.

The prompt today asks us to list three blogs we’ve read this week that we have loved and to say why.  https://dailypost.wordpress.com/prompts/press-it/
