Books have been a part of my reality since I was a young child. I was dubbed the book worm as a kid as my face was usually stuck in a book, whether it be in a car, or on the couch or in my room on my comfy bed. Books have always been a big part of who I am. As time has gone by the books have stayed but the topics of course have become more and more varied.
At the present moment I am reading "The Forgotten Garden" by Kate Morton. Here is her website link:The Forgotten Garden, I am truly enjoying the style of her writing.
One of my all time favourite authors is Ken Follet who wrote "Pillars of the Earth" and followed it up with "World Without End" the sequel I have ever read that was as good as the first book. Here is his link:Ken Follet - when I first read "Pillars of the Earth" it was the longest novel I had read to date - now I have read it twice and will likely pick it up again before year end and follow it with "World without End"
I have numerous cookbooks they seem to be my something I have begun collecting as time has passed. They seem to come at all different times of the year - from many different folks.
My next book awaits me in the mail from a dear friend that is sending it to me from afar. I look forward to reading it and linking it to some real life possibilities.
Life is funny at times, and right now it is good. My stress level is significantly lower than in previous months. I am moving forward from the catastrophic losses of 2008. I am in a better place - yes I still mourn and yes I still have the odd out loud sobbing episode when alone at home or sometimes in my car, but it will be okay, I will be okay. I have a good support system around me and there for me to catch me when I begin to fall. It is okay to miss those that are gone - but not to mope about and miss out on my life. My life is in a good place right now - is it exactly where I thought it might be - LOL no, but is it safe? Yes, it is safe. Is it as professionally satisfying as I had planned? Nope! Am I going to worry about it anymore or stress that I am underemployed? Nope, not this year - if it is meant to be it will be - if I have learned anything about life this life it is that the universe will give what you need - not what you desire or yearn.
Enjoy the day,
Lady of the Oak
