Tuesdays with Morrie
This book should be compulsory reading for everybody. I first heard about "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom on ABC radio. Morrie was one of Mitch Albom's University lecturers. About 20 years after Mitch left Uni, Morrie appeared on TV after being diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease, which Mitch happened to see. Mitch then started visiting Morrie regularly and wrote about their discussions until Morrie died of the disease. Mitch & Morrie talked about all the big questions in life, ie love, marriage, children, death etc. It is so simply and touchingly written, I was reduced to tears. I found it to be a very "grounding" book that reminded me of what the really important things in life are.

Hi Marcia,
Loved reading your blog and just wanted to let you know that I saw the movie not so long ago. It reduced both Darren (hubby) and myself to tears. We saw it on cable TV and I missed the first bit but was able to catch up on the second showing. Just an amazing show and yes, it does make you realise that there are some things in life that are more important than work, home, work. Love to watch shows like this that bring me back down to earth and I feel connected somehow to my earthmother self again.
Lots of love,
Shelley Maughan
