A Woman in Pursuit of Pleasure - Mother's Note
April 26, 2023
Much of what I’ve become is simply a woman in pursuit of pleasure. How many of my daily decisions are based on careful consideration, experience, and what is best long term? Very few. This is my life. This is who I’ve become. I’ve set the stage and must now live my remaining days reciting the lines required of me.
Oh, but the pleasures of even a flawed life are plentiful. ~ Janice (Nizana)

Author's Note
Going through Mother's papers, I found this scribbled on a page. I found a picture I hadn't seen before on her computer.

The author encourages honest critique.
The wordings read almost out of the 18th century - the novel "Fanny Hill" , written in that century, had as its alternative title "Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure". About your mother I am tempted to ask as if to her, "If pleasure is still so plentiful why could you not stay longer among us?" As "Her Last Words" and the picture that you put with it show, she still found things to enjoy in life.
I like it for its quality, though not so much for the sad implication of her sense of acting out a part as if there was no choice to vary - was she thinking back to her drama days?
