Books...

so, I've decided to add something new to this little blog thing I've got goin' on...

if there was only one activity I could do for the rest of my life...

it would be to read.

i love books. they are a chance to jump into someone else's mind, into someone else's world. when you open a book, your worries, your stress, your thoughts, your world just...disappears. and you are thrown into a new place, that contains new worries, new thoughts, new emotions. the characters reach out and grab you, pull you into their world.

you laugh with them. 
you cry with them.
 you worry when they worry. 
you are happy when they are happy. 

when they are troubled, or sad, or mourning, you want so badly to reach out and comfort them. to let them know that the story does end. and with a few page turns the pain will be over.

i love it when a book pulls me in so much, that i literally audibly react to the story. 

i laugh. i yell. i comfort. i scream. i cry. i whisper. 

i tell the characters that its going to be okay. i let them know when i don't like what they're doing. i laugh when something is funny and i cry when something moves me.
and i love it.


so. 


Maybe once a week or so, I'll have a day where I'll post on a book that i recently read. kinda like a book review. but mainly just a place to record my thoughts. I'll enjoy it. hopefully you will to :]

thoughts??

Sping Dreams...

i have to admit...i'm not a big spring fan...

and its warm, sometimes too warm...

but after seeing Ruche's Spring Lookbook, i kinda want a little spring...




First off, their stuff is AMAZING!!....just sayin'


I love the way the sun looks...


warm and comfy [but not too warm ;)]



"Spring makes its own statement, so loud and clear that the gardener seems to be only one of the instruments, not the composer."  ~Geoffrey B. Charlesworth




"Spring shows what God can do with a drab and dirty world."  ~Virgil A. Kraft




"The day the Lord created hope was probably the same day he created Spring."  ~Bern Williams







"Now every field is clothed with grass, and every tree with leaves; now the woods put forth their blossoms, and the year assumes its gay attire."  ~Virgil








"And Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast
rose from the dreams of its wintry rest."
~Percy Bysshe Shelley



Happy Spring to you all!!!!
