🍁 Today is the one year anniversary of the day my husband was hit by a car. Today, more so than always, I‘m thankful for our family and our health, and I‘m so grateful that he made it through okay.
🍁 I‘m reading the tagged book because (not gonna lie) the cover is pink. 😂
🍁 I‘ve started dancing as a way to have fun while exercising, and I‘m actually sticking to it. I can‘t remember the last time I exercised for eight days straight. Go me! :)

LiteraryinLawrence That‘s awesome! What kind of dancing do you do? 3y
slategreyskies @LiteraryinLititz I signed up for an app called Body Groove. There are about 200 dance videos to choose from, with so many different types of dance moves featured. I‘ve done bits of everything from ballet to cha cha. It‘s been so much fun! :) 3y
KVanRead Thanks for the tag! How scary about the accident —so glad your husband is okay! 3y
MoonWitch94 So glad you‘re husband was okay & he‘s well! Such an important reason to be thankful. 🧡🤎⭐️😊 3y

This is one of those, “I don‘t remember how it got on my TBR list.” It surprised me when it showed up from inter-library loan.

I‘m about 1/2 through and I'm starting to lose interest. And today I need a book that goes with being snowed in! ❄️ ☃️ ❄️

JamieArc Another Litten recently posted about this book and it sounded fun. Maybe you added it after seeing someone post it. (edited) 4y
Maria514626 @JamieArc That‘s probably it! I get most of my book recommendations here. 😁 4y

ShelleyBooksie Cool title. I look forward to your review. 4y
HerDarkHuntress1 @CoffeeNBooks is that raspberry coffee or hot chocolate? Where would one find something like that!? And have you tried black rifle coffee? 4y
CoffeeNBooks @HerDarkHuntress1 It's coffee. I order Bones Coffee from their website. I'm a bit obsessed with all of their different flavors. I've never heard of Black Rifle coffee before. 4y
HerDarkHuntress1 @CoffeeNBooks i will have to look them up! Black ruffle coffee is a company of smart arse veterans who started off making videos for YouTube and decided to jump into the coffee field. They are actually really good. I believe they are in business with the nine line clothing company. 4y
HerDarkHuntress1 @CoffeeNBooks they are an American based patriotic company. I have a feeling it‘s the M‘erica mentality that makes it taste so good! 4y
HerDarkHuntress1 @CoffeeNBooks I was going through the site and I saw that they have strawberry coffee!!! 🤣😂🤣 I yelled to my husband “babe! Look what I found! Coffee with strawberries! I can add strawberries to your coffee now!” He yells back “and I can still add death to your life” he hates strawberries with a passion ever since someone ruined his ice cream with strawberries! 🤣😂🤣 4y

I‘ve posted about this one before, but it‘s worth talking up again! The hot #pink cover with its lipstick-marked coffee cup makes this look like fluff (and in some ways it is, very much), but this book has reminded me over and over to not settle for “good enough,” but to pursue a life that‘s consistent with who I am and what I love. #readingresolutions

The terrific @Leftcoastzen came across this sign 😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻!

I'm pretty sure everyone was kung fu fighting. I hear they were as fast as lightning.

I think this is true because my source kept repeating all of this very excitedly.

😁

laurieluna I remember it! It was a little bit frightening. 6y
CherryPie I was definitely Kung Fu fighting. Until I switched to Tang Soo Do. 6y

The moment comes when you look up and see your life stretching out for seventy more years. And there, in front of you, like a giant roadblock, is the question: Is this life good enough for the next seventy years? But maybe that's the easy question. The next logical question--Can I live like this?--is the killer. Because it isn't a yes or no kind of question. It's a do or die kind of question.

I avoid moments.

This is an unexpected favorite reread, borrowed on a friend's recommendation years ago. I didn't expect much due to the hot pink chick-lit cover. But I resonated with the narrator so strongly that I had to buy my own copy. I've re-read it 3 or 4 times since, usually when I need a reminder to pursue my authentic self, take risks, and not give up on what I really love. I re-read it before deciding to move to South Africa. 😊🇿🇦 #rereads #booktober
