What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty

A quick and interesting read...really made me think about how our marriages can so quickly disintegrate when we allow fatigue and busyness to rule.  How have I changed in these 43 years? Have I become like Alice... snippy tight voice, condescending, sarcastic, opinionated?  Lots of pondering about how friendships can be lost, sisters can put up walls, and husbands can be shut out.  Since I like solutions, my take away is that I need to really see my husband -- and continually listen better and appreciate more.  God's way is gratefulness, forgiveness and an open heart.  Nick told Alice that he would know when she regained her memory --by the way she looked at him.  I want to look at my husband in that "young Alice" way.
