So what am I thankful for today?

I am thankful for people like James Shaw. We never truly know what we would do in a moment like that. We can say what we think we would do or hope but you truly don’t know till you are in the moment. After...

So what am I thankful for today?

I am thankful for a local restaurant called Stoby’s. The last time I went had been the first time in a long while and I had a bacon cheeseburger…Oh My Goodness…That has to be the best burger in town. I h...

[image error]So what is the latest?

In reading – I’ve been listening to The Raven Cycle books by Maggie Stiefvater and I am currently on the last book. I think the narrator, Will Patton, does a good job. I wonder though if I would have felt more pulled into it if I had read the physical books first. I have enjoyed the series though. I have like 30 chapters left in the last book, The Raven King.

I’ve also been working on Eliza and her Monsters by Francesca Zappia. I’m about 100 pages into it and I am enjoy...

[image error]Today I am thankful for the rain we have been getting off and on since last night. It is so much better than last weekend when sirens were going off and we had to take cover.

I’m thankful that I found an unused gift card while cleaning today. Sometimes it is the little things.

I’m also thankful for the day off. After having a few years never really knowing when I would get time off I try to be sure to relish it now.

What are you thankful for today?

[image error]Being thankful can sometimes seem easier said than done. We can say we are thankful/grateful about something but then our minds want to follow it up with something that could have made it better. For example…I’m thankful to have a job but I wish… or I’m thankful that the sun came out today but…

The trick is trying to leave out the but or anything resembling that and to just be thankful. With my last job it was an over night job and I could usually end my “day” with listening to the morning sh...

Consistency…sometimes it feels like a dirty word. You know it is meant to bring good but then you realize it means work. So, you make a plan and hopefully have the best intentions. Sometimes you might even take what it is that you are trying to become consistent with and break it down into goals. Even with the best intentions doubt creeps in and you wonder if you can do it.

Does that sound familiar? I know it does to me. Why? Because it is what I am working on this year.

I want to get to wher...

What she needs most might be what she least expects…

Living without air conditioning in a Philadelphia heat wave has Claire on the brink of a total meltdown. When she escapes her overheated apartment to spend a day at the park, the last thing she expe...

[image error]As of Sunday August 13th, I will be a Knight. Okay, so not really just while a readathon is happening. I don’t take part in them often but lately I have been in the mood to and I saw someone post about this one and it sounded like fun.

You can go here to read more about it. I’ll try to do updates throughout on here as to where I am with the books. I have tried to come up with books for each of the characters but I’m going to start with the Knight and do some of the side challenges while I try...
