My feelings of shock and grief in the aftermath of October 7th froze the part of me that blogged about healthy aging and other topics related to 2nd Middle Age. I am once again falling back on Radical Acceptance, trying to accept my ongoing sadness 5 minutes at a time as a part of my identity as a Jew and as an Israeli. Now I am just going to give it a go, and will try to post again on a more regular basis going forward. Thank you for being here on this journey with me.
