The decision to buy a Kindle last year was fraught with angst but I am so happy I did. Not bringing any more "stuff" into my life is vital to my sanity these days, so as much as I loved the feeling of acquiring a new book and the anticipation of seeing it await my attention, I like more to have less clutter. <br />The quote is beautiful!

Do you go to the library? If you do not like it, take it back.... I just finished I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelo and loved it.. I have bought so many over the years and did not have time to read, now I am making up for lost time!Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07691830042960318152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684927768388749969.post-54330296796462671152011-09-26T14:28:50.510-04:002011-09-26T14:28:50.510-04:00FlowerLady, I use to go to library all the time bu...FlowerLady, I use to go to library all the time but just do not have time with all I do here in the woods.<br />LauraX, my lure has stopped.

Unless I see something I'd really like to read at a thrift store or yard sale. I love going to the library, trying to see what jewels will jump out at me but sometimes check out books that I turn back in without having read, after reading a few pages and it just doesn't feel worth my time.<br /><br />I read The Shell Seekers too, good book.<br /><br />I love the quote you posted.<br /><br />I seek to live quietly and peacefully where we are, on a busy 5 lane road. We are creating our own little haven.<br /><br />FlowerLadyFlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.com
