Summary: The Measure Of My Days
Review: In attempting to complete an assigment, I purchaced this book. I was pleased to find such positive reviews. After I recieved this book I started to attempt to read and understand this author. I am sorry to say but I should have choose a different author. Much of the book was writen in a form of a women's ponderings with no real frame of referance to work from. I feel that this is because of the education of the author. When the author actually did give framework like when she was with her grandson and how he looked at the world with fresh eyes it was easy to relate and understand where she was comeing from. I found that at the end of the assignment, I did something with a book that I never do and that was throw it away.

Review: What a pleasure it was to read this book! Dr. Scott-Maxwell's book brings the aging process into consciousness, with seminal thoughts reflecting on Jungian ideas (opposite natures, inner-outer experiences, differentiation, the unconscious and God). The book is written in a format of a personal, meditation essays.

Noted author Alice Walker said in an NPR interview (April 26th, 2004), that the grandmother spirit, the "cinder grandmother", is missing in our culture. Florida Pier Scott-Maxwell is a voice that should be heard.
