365 Days of Gratitude

Day 14

I am so happy that I actually finished another book. I am in love of this growth in reading. I am one who is just starting to tap into the fever of reading.

I love to have a physical book to carry with me. To get lost in space and time to read. I posted the book review just a bit ago. Go ahead and read that one.

Book Review

Hello my fellow friends. I have just finished reading “Night” by Ellie Wiesel. I think that it would be not easy to tell you that you to not just read this book. But the truth is that you should read this book.

Why? 3 reasons. First reason is it is about us. It’s about our history. Not just about Jew and their suffering. It’s what we did as a whole society. It makes me sick to read first hand what what happened.

Second is this a first person account. I am glad that my husband suggested this because it is story that is worth telling and hearing. History needs more of this. We can learn from this and take action. I’m sure glad to have this in our personal library.

Thirdly, if you have any interest in our history. It’s not like any text book account of what happened during the Holocaust . Personal narrative is the place to go to. So powerful and detailed. I felt all the feelings of of the author. I couldn’t help to cry and wanting to rescue everyone. But I was born in a very different time.

Oh me oh my books

Our little library is growing. I feel proud librarian in my own right. Have you ever felt that way?

Ross is into science fiction. I’m into kids learning to reading. Anything to start them on that journey. I am excited to share the list for kids of all ages! 😉

Berenstain Bears series, Boxcar Children, and Magic Tree House are going in my library. I’ll have to get my small section at home to share with you.

What books do you recommend? Please feel free to comment below.

Funday Sunday?

I’m not sure if it was fun. But we sure got freaking lot of cleaning done. Boy am I tired. Almost 5,000 steps today.

What did you do today? Anything fun? Or was it relaxing?

Tomorrow is a new day. I’m almost finish with a book! I’m so excited. I will tell you more about the book later. It’s bed time.

I challenge me!!!

It’s not to early to start on “I challenge me!!!” Project. And that is what I did yesterday.

In one of post I list reading more. I knew that I had 1-2 hours of available reading on the job. I packed 4 books in my backpack. Took it in with me.

I read some in “Ghost Stories of Minnesota”. I got to a part of the book where it talked about a ghost at one of the local theatre that my fiancé had volunteered and his sister work at. That was pretty cool to read about.

The second book is on Sterns County in Minnesota. Pretty interesting I say. I love history and local is my favorite! Hopefully I’ll get both books by the end of the week.

I challenge me!!

I am having a list going right now. Of the things I do more or to do better. In no particular order either.

  • To write more.
  • To read more.
  • To walk more.
  • To recycle more.
  • To cook more meals for the two of us.
  • To sugar detox
  • To know more about people more.
  • To have more fun and document it.
  • To practice and give talks in front of an audience.
  • To blog more about life.
  • Celebrate life in the highs and lows.

Are these any of my list on your list? How can we support each on this journey. These are just a few. I am going to dig deeper and really work on the list. Hopefully you will see it land here on the blog more.
