pickA quick reread while my kids played at the park. I love this reminder to cherish the small moments and not just get caught up in work. “Life is made up of moments, small pieces of glittering mica in a long stretch of gray cement.”
A lovely sweet reflection on life and how to embrace every day.
“Life is made up of moments, small pieces of glittering mica in a long stretch of gray cement. It would be wonderful if they came to us and summoned, but particularly in lives as busy as the ones most of us lead now, that won‘t happen. We have to teach ourselves how to make a room for them, to love them, and to live, really live.”
pickAt only 50 pages, about half are lovely photos, I finished this just after midnight. I know I will read it over and over before passing it along to someone else who may need the sentiment. It has some sweet quotes I hope to keep with me throughout the year. Thank you again, Misty! I pray this year is full of happiness for us all! ❤

Great quote right off the bat. "... When you come to a fork in the road, take it!"
Misty, you are one of the sweetest people! After a rough day at work (really, a rough weekend mentally, too), I came home to this package from you. The card was sweet and just what I needed to hear. I am going to read some of this tonight. 😘❤
I also sent you a card out this morning, but it was before I got this package.

Not a profound book, but a very sweet little read.
so-soNice, quick read. Nothing earth shattering, but a good reminder to enjoy the little things!
pickI finished this as part of the weekend #24in48. It had been sitting on my shelf for some time, so #mounttbr too! It could have been a speech for a college graduation. Not anything new for me, but concepts that are always helpful to read again. This was the first time that I actually kept track of my reading time. Logged in 10 1/2 hrs and finished my Book Club book, 2 children‘s books and a nostalgic read. Read more than normal. Good motivator! 📚
panThis maybe would be a good book for a hs graduate or better a bar or bat mitzvah or confirmation gift. Me being 41, this was a waste of my time. Actually, in those examples above get yourself or the graduate 20,000 Days and Counting by Robert D Smith. Its a much better book for the subject matter. The book by Quindlen was very trite and the photography mediocre by today's standards

June plans: finish this one
"Don't ever confuse the two, your life and your work. That's what I have to say. The second is only a part of the first." -Anna Quindlen #quote #lifelesson #emmieandbooks
Since my cat was so snotty about letting me read to him, I subjected the shelter cats to it instead. Here's Jennifurr deciding whether to jump on my lap or keep playing with the track ball. I told her to follow Ms. Quindlen's advice and get a life.
I'm still reading this book! It may be short, but my reading companion is quite rude. Last night he walked off after three words. Three words! #BooksFromSteinbeck @Liberty
My reluctant #readingcompanion would run away but for my other hand clamped firmly on his back. I'm reading this to him for the #ReadHarderChallenge and it just may take rest of the year to finish! After this session I gave him a much needed mani/pedi. #photoadaynov16
