My heart goes out

Being a woman who is deeply loved, and spoiled slightly, I notice that I forget that others do not have the same life as I do. I do not mean to say that I am rich in money, but I am rich in love. I have always had loving parents who have set boundaries to keep me safe, and a husband who would do anything for me. However, this week I have been reminded that not everyone lives that way. 

As a school teacher, I am exposed to so many children and it breaks my heart to see so many of them suffering. I wish I could save all of them, but I know I can’t. I can only show them love and guidance while they are with me during the day. 

Incredible Sci-Fi

if you are a Sci-fi fan, and you haven’t already read the Martian, you MUST! I just started it yesterday and I am hooked! I have it on audiobook and I have been listening to it while I have been painting the garage. My husband, who never reads fiction, is even enjoying it! I even caugh him LAUGHING! Gasp! 

The novel has been adapted into a screen play that is set to release Nov 25, 2015! I will be there opening night! 

Check it out!  

 

My last night

this is my last night as a woman in my 20s. Tomorrow I am officially 30 years old! That means I am no longer a young adult, I’m a full adult! Ah! 🙂

Wonderful weekend Haiku

This weekend was great

Snuggling and laughing with

NO anxiety!

My pillow

My pillow is calling my name
It beckons me to lay softly upon its cushion
I can no longer fight away the temptation
We shall go together to Dreamland

I’ve been naughty…

I splurged on ice cream
Chocolate and peanut butter
There goes the diet

Goodnight

Goodnight
Sleep tight
Don’t let the vampires bite!

My Little Best Friends

My dogs are my little best friends

They make me feel loved and cherished

Their little kisses are so sweet

And their cuddles are the best!

Rain day = Cuddling with Stephen King!

We are experiencing one of our rare rainy days here in Arizona and I am going to take FULL advantage of it! I have my comfy blanket, my cuddly dogs, a nice fluffy pillow, and Stephen King’s Bag of Bones all laid out on the couch! I am getting ready to dive into the pages and get lost in the supernatural suspense of King’s words! I can’t wait!

Bag of Bones!

Ok, I am about a fourth of the way finished with Bag of Bones, by Stephen King, and I am still loving it! I am so glad I decided to try one of King’s books, because now a whole new world of books has opened up to me! I never wanted to read a suspense novel before, because I am easily freaked out (hence the anxiety disorder). It is actually a cool experience to be reading and become physically scared! That is what I love so much about words! Just by stringing a few letters and phrases together you are able to create physical and emotional reactions! It just blows my mind every time! OH, how I love writing!

If there is ever a book genre that you haven’t checked out due to preconceived judgements, I suggest giving it a try. I had sworn off “scary” fictions, but I am thankful that I  branched out of my comfort zone and tried something new! It has been a fun experience!
