An Relaxing Night and A Great Book

by Leave a Comment

Just the other day I found this book on Amazon and it caught my eye in a strong way. It was just begging me to read it right now, I could hear it calling my name.

Currently Reading in July 2011

I wanted to see if my local library had it and it did yay. So far it is an awesome read for me at least. I told my husband that and he rolled his eyes at me. Oh well what does he know, he doesn’t write letters and isn’t interested haha. I am not too far into yet, but so far it is great.

If your curious look it up at your local library and see it is something that might catch your eye.

Are You Too Lazy Or Too Busy?

Are you too lazy or too busy?

Why is it so hard to find a balance? Do you know anyone who has a better balance than you do? What do you think their secret is?

At this point in time sometimes feel I am to busy at much about nothing.  I have so many things I have to do but I don’t want to do right at this moment.

I do need to get my rear in gear and get my spare room ready for my son to visit for 3 weeks.  I have all sorts of writing supplies out and crafts items too.  Right now it looks like a hurricane went through it, but of course I know where everything is at. lol

Once the school year begins it might be a different story I will be truly busy then and won’t be able to be lazy.  A few lazy days I am sure will creep in but only every so often.  I am excited to be busy teaching 3rd grade come mid August.

For me it is hard to find balance especially during Summer because most days turn into lazy days despite my best efforts.  For me it is easier to find balance once Summer is over and Fall arrives.

I think there are many people that to me appear to have more balance than me.  But if I look into it more what appears as balance is just an appearance of it and not a true thing.

I get letters in my box from all over the world, a few are regulars in my mailbox and most are just visiting for the moment. I wanted to find out a bit about where these letters come from so here is what I decided to do. I am going to google the cities on the envelopes and share it on these posts for others to enjoy and for me to remember. I want to remember all the wonderful places I receive letters from.

The first is West Frankfort, IL where a new pen friend Elizabeth is from.
