Eat Pray Love

It has taken me a little while to write about "Eat Pray Love" by Liz Gilbert I did enjoy it. I didn't feel like it changed my life but it is so interesting to read about people who are trying so very hard to find the meaning of life. It is a good reminder of what is important. I do feel the need to enjoy each moment and not try to hurry through each event and check it off. It makes me so very grateful for what I know. The purpose of life and why I am here. I do believe that becoming a better person who is more in control and who learns to love is well on the way to being happy. That is what people are searching for. I need to meditate more just take time to think and work things out and communicate with my Heavenly Father. I so enjoy walking everyday because I can just think and pray while I walk. Well I think what I am saying is I did enjoy this book she is a very likable person and I would recommend this book. Be careful if you are squeamish about sex because she is not shy and the F word is in there a couple of times. If any one is interested I just read two books by Marion Hale they are Historical novels for young adults One is about the great flood in Texas in 1900 and the other is about a family during the depression who move to Texas. I enjoyed them both very much and highly recommend them. I am sorry I have forgotten the titles. I learned so much about the period and the amazing resiliency of people and families. Enjoy.

Let it Snow Let it Snow Let it Snow

I love the snow and we need it badly. I wish for a storm or two a week. I do hate to drive in ti but it has to be done. It is so nice to have a drive way Corby and I cleared it off a couple of times on Saturday just because we can. Doesn't take much to make us happy. I will be taking Black Jack for a walk today because it is warm and wonderful outside. I just finished a great book by an L.D.S. author called Grave Secrets. It is a thriller and very good with a little family history mixed in not enough to make you feel guilty but maybe to get you interested. My good friend Mona gave it to me and I enjoyed it. Brit you need to show your mother how to get to this blog. Also I will read the book "eat pray whatever" Lisa has it and so I will borrow it form her. Merry Christmas to you all and more snow on the morrow
