I've Been a Good Girl-Haven't I?...

The object of my desire

I've been a good girl lately. Finishing courses, applying for jobs, steering the family ship almost single-handedly, going to the gym, watching my diet, avoiding alcohol (4 months now)....

So

I deserve to buy myself something

Don't I?

Well I did. A-n-d it was something I totally didn't need but oh, so did want

So. I did

The gorgeous book above

Why then, do I feel guilty?

I haven't even opened it yet and it has been in my possession for nearly 24 hours

Okay, okay.. I haven't r-e-a-l-l-y had time and I do want to sit down, with a cuppa and drool over the pages, take my time, and not be interrupted

Why do I have to justify my purchase? Even to me

I do love Florence.So. Enough. Enough with the self-inflicted guilt trip

I will enjoy

Yes I will....

After I do the folding and ironing....




 Ciao for now...


 

just Books...

My children and I have spent 21/2 hours browsing through bookshops in silent antiicpation with the goal of choosing a book each to read. We then spent 1 hour, on the couch all tumbled in together, reading our new books. No noise, just the turning of pages and the occasional chuckle if warranted. I love to read and I l-o-v-e that my children love to read. I have always taken them to the library, read to them at night, given them books as gifts...... Sometimes, we see the light sneak back on at night when they should be asleep but are desperate to continue their journey into the pages of their chosen adventure. Can't really get cross at that now can you?

I have chosen Conversations With God by Neale Walsch as it was recommended and I wanted something to think about. Will let you know how I go.... What is your most favourite book? Mine? Watership Down  about the rabbits has always been dear to my heart. The very Hungry Caterpillar is my favourite kid's book. I can remember loving it when I was 5!

Do you like to read? 

Ciao for now
