Oh so quiet
For ten minutes of every day, the world becomes quiet, still, and perfect. Before I go to bed, I creep into Marco’s room and stare at my darling boy as he sleeps. Sometimes, his mouth curls up into a smile, when I whisper “I love you”, but usually, he is unaware of my presence. I have to force myself to back out of the room and actually go to bed! He’s so beautiful.
In literary news, I finished The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, and I admit it: I cried a bit. I think it was lovely. This afternoon, during my lunch hour, I started reading The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood. I love Atwood’s writing style, and her stories always keep me riveted.
What are you reading? How’s your week going? Anyone else SO FREAKING EXCITED THAT TOMORROW IS FRIDAY!?
I just started reading The Help by Kathryn Stockett, and I love it so far! Books set in the south make me happy, I think reading To Kill a Mockingbird in jr. high did that to me. So glad you have peaceful moments like this to share, it’s so sweet!
I’m reading ‘the girl with the dragon tattoo’ right now. it took me a little while to get into it
I hadnt heard of Oryx and Crake or Margret Atwood before….Brian T My uncle started me off with The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings.
