Hey. Do you write all those descriptions of the books on your shelf? Or are they like already attached to the books when you add them?
Hey, how is the book 'The Boy in the Striped Pajamas? I haven't heard much about it. I saw that it is going to be a movie? I might read it then! I have a trend of reading books that turn into movies haha. Have a good reading day!
Be joyful
It's ok to be joyful. In fact, it's more than ok -- it is perhaps the most valuable gift you can give to life.
Joy feels so good because it is so very good. In joy, with joy, because of joy, all of life advances.
Be genuinely joyful, and bring out the joy in all those around you. Delight in the wonder and the possibilities of this moment, and you'll encourage others to see their own beautiful possibilities.
See your circumstances as empowering, and they will be. Because you will be empowered by your own positive perspective.
This is the moment, right now, to live according to your highest, most precious values. Feel the joy that radiates from your own authentic being.
Be your best by being truly joyful. Let your joy spread far and wide.
-- Ralph Marston
Let me know what you think of A Million Little Pieces. I see a dozen copies every time I go to the thrift store. People probably getting rid of it because of the controversy over fabrications in his account.
I read it when I was a kid. I was so young that I read the last four books over the years they were released.
So a long, long time ago. ;)
Thanks! I remember reading somewhere that she had it on her website for free, but I couldn't remember how long it was going to be there :)
No problem. I felt slightly like a stalker, but hey!
I loved the movie too. The books are great, but different to the movie.
They feel different. I can't explain it, but if you loved the movie you'll like the books. :)
I see you're reading Beatrix Potter... Have you seen the movie "Miss Potter?" It definitely makes you appreciate her tales even more.
