Thanks to everyone for your kind thoughts today. This year felt worse for some reason. I guess it always comes and goes. I called my oldest son by my brother‘s name about five times this Christmas so I suppose I should have realized something was up. Anyway, we made it through. And then we stopped by the library and I got another library card for my collection. That‘s three in two weeks. Three different counties. :)

And another one
A page from the book
I just love the colors and the drawing in this
pickThe under title to this is a circle of life story, guess I should have paid better attention to that. This book took a turn in the middle that I didn‘t expect and younger me would have been devastated
The illustrations in this children‘s picture book is amazing
pickOne of my favorite concepts to ponder: “are we alone?”
This book dabbles a bit of the science behind this concept and explores the way humans have imagined life outside of earth. Green focuses on science fiction books and movies and the way we may not even be able to imagine lifeforms outside our own human-centric and earthling imaginings. And in fact , don‘t platypuses sound like a made up animal? The issue: we don‘t know how to define life.
"... if you're trying to show off for people at the top, forget it. They will look down on you anyhow. And if you're trying to show off for people at the bottom, forget it. They will only envy you. Status will get you nowhere. Only an open heart will allow you to float equally between everyone."
Midway through this non-fiction reflective story. The author explores the things we need to feel rooted and fully expressed. Much is expressed through the basics supporting her on a solo beach retreat. So far, so good. 😊
pickto live with intention, compassion, and depth. Every conversation between Morrie and Mitch felt like a reminder that meaning isn‘t found in success, flesh, or the material; but in the love we give, the time we share, and the moments we truly feel alive. This book didn‘t just inspire me, it helped me rediscover what it means to live.
