1/2/11 How I lose myself...

 Just a few of my favorite places to get lost....so thankful for a husband who listens when I say I love this author..or when I point a book out and say I really wanna read that. These were a few of my Christmas presents from him.....I am so blessed! I LOVE YOU SHANE OATES! 

I love to read....for a little while I can slip into someone elses life. I can forget about all the drama and misunderstandings and chaos of my life and lose myself in someone elses world. I will pick up one of these books and before you know it somehow I have read half the night away. I can truly feel like I am someone else for just a little while and no matter what happened to me...I know that there will be a happy ending. This calms me and gives me a peace because although my problems are not gone, I have had time to get away from them and most of the time come back with a different perspective. Or at best a little less attitude. I dont know how many times I have read till I fell asleep and then woke up much happier. I know that most people think fairy tales are nonsense and romance is long gone....but I refuse to give up on either of them. My fairytale is my own and only I can write it. I hope to fill my life with love and family and friends. My goals for this new year are pretty simple. I have started thinking a little more about me. This past year was a tough one. I refuse to relive it. But I did learn quite a few lessons from it. One of my goals is to pick up a real PAPER BACK book more often and cuddle in a comfy chair or in my bed and get lost for a little me time.......

  1. I love reading, too! I just finished The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins. I read all three books in three days! There's nothing better than curling up with a good book. :)
