Brain Cramp

I have pondered and pondered what to write about today, and I cannot come up with a single thing. My brain is cramped at the moment and there is nothing I can do about it. So there you have it:o)

Thought For The Week

Start living now. Stop saving the good china for that special occasion. Stop withholding your love until that special person materializes. Every day you are alive is a special occasion. Every minute, every breath, is a gift from God.
Mary Manin Morrissey

Book: Grace
Author: Richard Paul Evans

The Book
She was my first kiss. My first love. She was a little match girl who could see the future in the flame of a candle. She was a runaway who taught me more about life than anyone has before or since. And when she was gone my innocence left with her.

As I begin to write, a part of me feels as if I am awakening something best left dead and buried, or at least buried. We can bury the past, but it never really dies. The experience of that winter has grown on my soul like ivy climbing the outside of a home, growing until it begins to tear and tug at the brick and mortar.

I pray I can still get the story right. My memory, like my eyesight, has waned with age. Still, there are things that become clearer to me as I grow older. This much I know: too many things were kept secret in those days. Things that never should have been hidden. And things that should have.

As always with Richard's books, I came away from this story crying my eyes out, yet I felt uplifted. This is now another of my Christmas favorites.

Grace can be purchased at you local book store or by logging on to Amazon.com
