Growth:

To know what you like is the beginning of wisdom and of old age.

Robert Louis Stevenson

Appreciation:

Significant books pose a paradox. They stay the same, there is no change to their pages (other than marks of wear), yet they are always slightly different in each rereading. Same words and sentences, but shifted meaning.

While the book itself remains unchanged the reader is never the same as the reader of days past.

As I restart one of my most impactful book series for the fourth or fifth time I’m amazed at how much more vibrant the first book is, at how much more hard hitting it feels this time,

Thank you books for always staying beautifully the same while at the same time offering exactly what I need each individual time I need them.

Presence:

Dinner at Love Child to celebrate our anniversary – with Gavin – all relaxing around the table, enjoying delicious food and drink, and soaking in the company of each other. Priceless!

Thanks!!!
