Cathy F Burns

She is sixty two and says so, along with the observation that she has more years behind her than ahead, and that the accepted version of getting older, a slow decline with aches and shrinking mobility, is not one she intends to accept. Cathy F Burns writes about the body and the mind from inside that decision.

Her meditation post is the most usable thing in the set because it starts at two minutes. Set an alarm, stop worrying about how long it feels, build up slowly from there. That is advice somebody can follow tonight rather than admire.

Family runs through the rest. Her father's firehouse recipes, becoming a grandmother, the men in her life, and a genuinely funny piece about how absurd children's toys have become.

She also explains internet slang and emoticons for people who did not grow up with either, which turns out to be more useful than it sounds.

Twenty three long posts. Start with the one about age and read outward.
