The following quote is from Seven Stones to Stand or Fall by Diana Gabaldon, “Besieged.” Copyright ©2017 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“‘Your…manuscript,’ John said awkwardly. His mother came back abruptly from wherever she had been, her eyes alert but calm.
‘Oh,’ she said. ‘You read it?’
‘No, no,’ he said, embarrassed. ‘I…I only wondered…why are you writing your memoirs? I mean, that is what it is, isn’t it?’
‘Yes, it is,’ she said, looking faintly amused. ‘It would have been quite all right if you’d read it—you may read it whenever you like, in fact, though perhaps it would be better to wait until I’ve finished. If I do.’”

[> My journaling has been more like Farmers Almanac, I record nature things about the garden and birds, when we start and let the coal stove go out, special events in the family but nothing personal. Not that I have scandalous memoirs, but I wouldn’t many of my deep thoughts open to who knows who. -- Kathy in PA, Fri, May 13 2022, 9:07:10
