My Escape

Late at night, when it's quiet and people are sleeping, there I am-curled up under blankets and sheets with a single lamp shining behind my head. I get lost for awhile with my book or magazine. It's something to look forward to after long days, long procedures, or whatever the day brings. It also assures that I am relaxed enough to fall asleep afterwards and have no trouble doing so. The better the book, the better the experience, like the book I am pretty obsessed with right now, The Memory Keeper's Daugther by Kim Edwards. I am a little over half way through it. It's one of those books-you can't wait to see what is going to happen yet you know you are going to be sad when it's over and you are left to try to find another book that lives up to that one. The last one was up there too- The Choice by Nicholas Sparks.



I guess it all began when my parents read to me before bed while growing up. Thank you, parents and I will definitely do the same with my children.



Goodnight.



Today, I am grateful for a wonderful lunch with a friend, a little walking through the mall, working out, not too much homework, a fun drawing project, a great weekend, family, friends, that my sister-in-law and her baby got to travel, God.
