A 55-Year-Old Looks Back on Life, by Joyce Maynard
What an interesting read through all the letters to Joyce Maynard. Saw her speak at a writer’s conference in St. Petersburg, FL a few years ago. I do remember that Joyce appeared to be apologetic about her life when she spoke then. Her attitude about herself was sad. For some reason, her self-esteem was nil. Whatever her relationship with the "great" J.D. Salinger was, I hope she sees the benefit she has derived. She has become a prolific writer. Getting published is a fluke, I feel. But I do wish her luck, and don’t stop trying. I consider myself a writer, and have belonged, over the years, to a community of writers. Their encouragement and critiques are priceless. My one claim to fame is a first place for my favorite short story published when I belonged to the Tampa Writer’s Alliance. Get published often in magazines, but that’s not my love. I wish her the best of luck. Don’t stop writing.
James Maki: First Male Face Transplant Patient (Video)
It’s heart-rending to see what this man had to face. I can understand children being shocked, and perhaps even cruel because of their inexperience. But adults? It’s makes me sad and mad that anyone would not show kindness and compassion for him. But, how fortunate he is that surgeons have been able to re-make his face. Now, if only the public could remake their attitudes. We need a value system check. Are we all so jaded that a facade is the only thing that counts? I’d like to think most of us would consider the man. If I could tell him anything, it would be: "Mr. Maki, you had the misfortune to have a terrible accident. And I know it will be a long, hard recovery, but you deserve our caring and compassion, sir. You will be a winner."
