About Me
- seniorwriter
- I live on the thirty-fifth floor of a senior highrise on Chicago's Gold Coast. I retired in 1999 after 40 years in the English Department of Wilbur Wright College, on Chicago's Northwest Side, where I was department chair for 7 years and Wright's Distinguished Service Professor for 1995-96. In late 2005, I found myself retired, widowed, 73, and depressed, so I set out to find contentment through reflection and writing. My first published book, Reinventing Myself: Memoirs of a Retired Professor, is a series of personal essays recounting that quest and some of the experiences that came before it. My second is Seniorwriting: A Brief Guide for Seniors Who Want to Write. My third is poetry, Elder Expectations: My Life in Rictameters. My writing also includes a column for eGenerations.com. I advocate writing for everyone, and hope to encourage my fellow senior citizens to write. I am a member of the Illinois Woman's Press Association, The National Federation of Press Women, The Story Circle Network, The Authors Marketing Group, and the Chicago Writers Associaion and a volunteer at the Chicago Cultural Center. Please comment on my posts!

SO GLAD to hear from you again! I looked at your blog yesterday and wondered about your progress. I think you probably have the worst part of your surgery behind you and can look forward to better days ahead. Congratulations for coming this far. And great to have you BACK!!
So glad to see you back and "on the mend."
Gladyou are back... look forward to hearing from you.
So happy to hear you are back.
I have checked your blogs several times over the last few weeks.
Sending continuing healing wishes to you.
I just read about your double knee replacements on Ronni Bennett's blog "time goes by"
I wish you well and hope the healing process is proceeding on schedule.
I have had a "minor"compared to yours" knee experience recently and had surgery for a meniscus tear 4 weeks ago. The recovery even for that surgery which is considered minor since it is arthroscopic takes a longer time to fully recover than I had thought. At almost 79 I guess it just takes longer.
PS: Happy Belated Birthday. Mine is in December.
Take care of yourself
Wow, am I relieved to come to your blog and find new posts. Anxious to read them. It's really wonderful to have you back.
