We‘re memorializing our beloved bun today, gone a whole year. I‘ll share here what I wrote otherwhere, as some of you knew Moxie (through my posts), as well.

Modern sound machines offer a vast array of sounds to dream to. Ours, which softly glows to rouse us from sleep, in shades that mimic the sun‘s gentle rise in the morning sky, also offers the reverse, a “sunset simulation for a relaxing bedtime.” 👇🏻

monalyisha Accompanying sounds may include: waves crashing against a distant shore, rain pattering rhythmically on the roof, and forest birds calling down the day; I imagine them high in the trees, hidden amongst rustling leaves, safe in nests lined with downy feathers. Not a single one of these modern marvels offers the sound of a small, gray rabbit munching hay. 1w
monalyisha There are lots of reasons it‘s harder to dream these days but chief among them is the absence of Moxie from our aural landscape. Today marks the one year anniversary of the day she left us. 1w
monalyisha When thinking of rabbits, the last thing on anyone‘s mind is sound. And that‘s by design! They‘re nearly silent animals, evolved to go unnoticed by foxes, hawks, and other woodland predators. But Moxie trusted us enough to let us notice her: the sound of her soft snores; her tiny, Thumbelina-sized sneezes; her four little paws zooming back and forth, sinking into the lush carpets we bought just for her. 1w

monalyisha Every Care Guide in existence recommends feeding your rabbit an “unlimited supply” of hay. This had the pleasing effect of making our home smell like a sunlit meadow. It also provided the backing soundtrack to our days, as well as our nights. 1w
monalyisha If only I‘d known how much I‘d miss the sound, I would have recorded it. Instead, I‘m left with the ache of memory and an unnatural silence. It‘s a comfort to know that, somewhere, Moxie is sleeping easy. 1w
monalyisha Across the globe, our mythic literature is filled with stories where a sentient being dreams the world into existence, from Maha-Vishnu in Hindu Cosmology to Aboriginal Dreamtime. Until the world feels hopeful enough to dream again, I‘ll leave it to Moxie to dream up something better for us. She has her work cut out for her. 1w
monalyisha If I listen closely, somewhere beyond the Rainbow Bridge, there‘s a limitless field of golden hay and she‘s got her tiny nose to the ground, softly munching. 1w
monalyisha In the meantime, while my weak human ears fail me (much too small, much too short), I‘m so grateful for Jett. He doesn‘t make our home smell like a meadow and he doesn‘t snore softly. But he does snore, his big head on my foot, doing the best he can, easing our grief and bringing us his particular brand of goofy, doggy joy. 1w
monalyisha Thank you to Moxie, and to all our animals, for giving our lives a joyful noise. 🖤 1w

Update for accountability purposes.

I ended up starting my journey a bit earlier than planned and knocked 7 books off the list of physical books I have either won in giveaways or gotten in book swaps!!!

I am super proud of this progress and cannot wait to knock more off the list!!! I am still using my spreadsheet and emojis to help decide what is next!!

Thank you all for the support, it is very much appreciated!!!💙💙💙💙

I am making this post for accountability purposes.

I recently discovered I have 50+ physical books I have won in giveaways or gotten in book swaps, but have not read. I decided this summer to read as many as I can.

I put them into a spreadsheet, they have all been assigned a number & have all been assigned an emoji.

I am excited about the variety of books on this list & hope to knock a lot off my TBR!

Wish me luck - I may need it, 😁! 💙💙💙

BookmarkTavern Good luck! 🍀 3mo

AsYouWish @5feet.of.fury Thank you! I have already read one and it was pretty good - I wish I had read it sooner! I will try to remember to post my reviews on here. I am trying to come up with a cute/fun hashtag to go with this journey. 3mo
AsYouWish @Read4life Thank you! Big part of why I do anything is if I can create a good spreadsheet or a list, 🤣😂! Love creating them - just need to stick to them! 3mo

LeahBergen I didn‘t get a sausage for voting here in Canada on Monday! 😠😆😆 3mo
CarolynM @Aims42 Australia voted in the federal election today. Our polling places are mostly school and church halls. A lot of their communities use it as an opportunity to raise money by holding sausage sizzles and sometimes cake stalls. It‘s become a part of the culture to buy a sausage after casting your vote. 3mo
CarolynM @TheBookHippie It‘s a community building thing 🙂 Doesn‘t matter who you vote for, everyone wants to buy a sausage. 3mo
CarolynM @Teresereading @Jeg Nevermind, maybe you‘ll get one next time😆 3mo
CarolynM @Reggie It was pretty good 😋 3mo
TheLudicReader I just heard about this…so funny! 3mo
CarolynM @LeahBergen We have to buy them from the fundraisers, they‘re not just handed out you know😆 I‘m watching the results coming in at the moment. It looks like we are replicating the Canadian result 🙌🎉 3mo

3 ⭐ This isn‘t a book so much as a song with pictures added. The original Octopus‘s Garden came out in 1969. This is a little funny, but when you hear the music, it makes so much more sense. This book is really about the illustration. The illustrations are done well, and I think if it was done correctly, this could be a lot of fun at story time.

lil1inblue My sister used this book for her music program at the preschool she worked at. The kids loved it when paired with some music education! 5mo
