Flipping pages, feeling good

-

 Matt Haig is one of my favorite authors.  The Midnight Library is in my top 21 of 2021 and I was excited when this one came in to the  library. 

Full of comforts
Matt Haig has been very forthcoming about his struggles with anxiety and depression. This book is full of his thoughts, ideas and quotes about finding hope during difficult times. I found it equally about finding joy in the everyday moments. Despite a self imposed moratorium on buying books, I ordered one for myself and a few for gifts as soon as I finished the library copy.  It’s a fabulous book to flip open to any page and have a feel good moment. I am inspired to start my own comfort book.

This book may be my number 1 this year.  I am around 80 books so far, but this was the one I want to share most. Such a wonderful, positive read. Love, love, love.💕

    This sounds interesting. I love reading yours and CJ's Saturday book posts. I also sent you the pie recipe via email. Let me know if you don't get it. Happy Saturday. Hugs-Erika

    I've read TWO books this year and was happy with them. So glad this was a feel good book, because it's a very depressing subject matter.

    Wow! That's quite a recommendation. I enjoyed The Midnight Library, but I'm not sure it will even make my Top Ten list. Off to see if it's in our library.

 I am a big fan of NPR and RBG and this book came highly recommended. It was refreshing to read about Nina Totenberg and her friendship with Ruth Bader Ginsberg, as well as with Cokie Roberts.  I am sure this will end up on my favorites of 2023. I’ve been busy with some art projects, but always keep reading on my daily list of things to to. It’s my way of winding down at night. It’s always nice to curl up with a good book. Happy reading!

T stands for Traditions

Nothing says traditions like a holiday...and in our house Birthdays have always been treated like holidays! We hold firmly to the belief that if there is a day you are ever going to celebrate, it's the day you were born. Luckily for Fi, her birthday is October 8, which coincides with Columbus day this year, extending the Birthday to Birthday weekend. We lined up all kinds of special treats, starting with a Half Marathon on Saturday, if you can call that a treat..followed up with  some other birthday specials, breakfast out at our favorite diner,  presents, bookstore coffee and browse around,  made to order breakfasts and dinners,  chocolate cake (yum!) and a wind down with one of our favorite hobbies on Monday... painting Halloween Vignette Years ago, I painted unfinished wood and sold it at craft fairs. Fi loved to go with me to purchase supplies and attend craft shows looking for ideas.  Although it has been a long time since I have participated in a craft fair, we still hav

T stands for Time together

T stands for time together...in Ireland.  Heading to Ireland for a mini break provides a welcome respite from hustle and bustle. It's a chance to enjoy life at a slower pace, and get outside and enjoy nature. There is no place that we find as peaceful, and walking the country roads never gets old. Fortunately the weather cooperated, and the days are long...daylight until almost 10 o'clock at night, which leaves plenty of time for walking everyday. Our range was between 6 and 13 miles per day, making the most of our time outside. Not many people on our route, but not short of company. The dairy farm and creamery is just down the road, so you know our milk is fresh!  Sometimes, after a long walk, a cuppa and a biscuit aren't enough. One of my favorite places to eat is Brown's in Derry. Wine anyone? Yes, please! Seafood Chowder David's choice And dessert.... Brownie, Cream, Raspberry Sorbet, and Raspberries What's not t
