Giving is a gift
Better to give than to receive

When it comes to the holiday season, I enjoy giving then receiving. I love buying gifts for family and friends. I love seeing the joy on someone else's face opening up a physical gift then just a gift card in an envelope. Its completely beautiful to watch the neat wrapping get torn apart and seeing the eyes light up before the smile appears on their faces of unexpected pure joy that can't be cover up with a filter . I enjoy receiving the Christmas cards than gifts, the idea of card picked out just for a special individual by a loved one . Writing down a little note on one side is better than a text message, there is pure love and no abbreviations to shorten the sentences. I enjoy seeing someone's thoughts written down on a card sent to me , it's the unexpected notes that make me smile leaving the mail boxes before I even look at a single card. The very best part about giving is time to me, Volunteering or planning a surprise visit to see that special someone you haven't seen in a long time. Helping at a local charity for a day, giving your time to help serve food at a local church , help decorate someone house. You never know what your time and love can affect someone else's life for a few moments or for their whole lives. Better to give than to receive leaves a bigger footprint than anyone could leave behind and giving through out the year than just during the holiday season.

 

During my busy summer life , one day I skipped a day out of the office for a lake treat away. It was the Perfect day for a long drive , some tunes on the radio and some little sight seeing with a bite to eat from the road. The lite breezy wind with the windows down in the summer heat will be a favorite memory to have for the future. In a small town called Lake Isabella behind the winding mountains and rolling hills you can find this place with the a small town shops. Sometimes a little escape by water and silence can make the work week that much better . Don't you agree?


 

Dipping my toes into thriller/Mystery novels.

Gripping novel, I had my suspensions about who the killer was throughout the novel; never expected the killer was by the end of the novel. In the beginning of the novel it starts with a murder that possible connections to other murders in a small town. The last page, the last paragraph threw me through a loop before I could close the back cover. I read that page over a few times to make sure Paula Hawkins wrote that the way she did. I was addicted to this novel to the very end, couldn’t put it down. The story line and the setting is a bit cryptic but beautiful in the sense at the end it bring closure for the characters that didn’t start that way in the beginning. The Author Inspired a different style of writing, how each character moved throughout the novel. And the easy flow between each character’s head from past, present and future. Watching the similarities between Nel, Jules and Lena, the under connection besides being related grow in each chapter slowly. Life is short there will be always be his or her story then there is the truth of reality. People handle grief in differently ways and handle their life in different ways as well. Including with Patrick saw what he saw as a little boy effect his life, future and thoughts. People might not get to say what they want to say exactly to the ones they love before tragic things happen. And sometimes the people who leave us to soon cause more effect on us in a different way afterwards and sometimes creates a mess.
