This Is Your Brain On Love

I could not finish reading this book, I thought it would be something I would be interested in, but it is just plain boring. I don't understand half of the words in there, it's about your brain and chemistry and balances and imbalances and that how your brain works to make you a better lover and partner. But I don't think I need a book for that. So this one isn't as great as I thought it was going to be.

A Time To Dance by Karen Kingsbury

This was such an amazing and empowering story of love, and the power of it. This woman and man were on the verge of divorce, and they realized how far apart they have fallen. But with their young daughter getting married, and their two boys and everything they've been through they realized they can't even think about giving up such a beautiful thing they've had for so long. Anyone that is going through a divorce, or knows of anyone that is ..should pick up this book. It will make you smile, it will make you cry - it will make you realize the most important things in life sometimes are right in front of your face and you just have to know where to look. They really dwell on a special scripture quote from the bible, which I have learned to love .. and it goes ..
  
1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

And it is absolutely true ..

The story of romance, perseverance, passion, compassion, love ..

I highly recommend it.

Then Sings My Soul by Robert J. Morgan

This book is unlike any book I have ever read. But I loved it. The stories of these people are just so  powerful and strong. It is amazing what faith in the higher power can do. Some of my favorite hymns that have touched my life and still to this day I sing with a open heart and contrite spirit. The struggles and triumphs the authors of the hymns have written and shared, it's just amazing. I sang the songs on the page right before I read about it, and it made me understand it a lot better. I highly recommend this book to anyone.

Day 28

 July 21st, 2010

I know I haven't done this for a while, but I am ready to start again ..

Day 27

Good ol' Crayola ... how I love you ..

And yes I realize her pants are wet .. from Sunny Delight ..

Life is too short ...

You never realise how short life really is, until something drastic happens. If you are mad at someone, make up. Don't take anything for granted. Hug your family, friends, husband and just remember, no matter how hard you have it ..someone somewhere has it harder then you. No matter what place or time. ♥

My best friends husband is in the ICU. He had a aneurysm this afternoon while she was at work, and their 8 year old son found him unresponsive and not breathing. He is on a ventilator and not responding to any tests. They said there is no brain activity, so that means he is brain dead. I feel so helpless and heartbroken. I love that family like my own. I am trying to be there for her. She doesn't deserve this. They are waiting for his parents to get there, to decide what further action to take. This is so hard.

Urine sample came back clear, and the x-ray showed bowel blockage. Said to give him more laxative, which we have been doing ..and pain reliever as needed. We came home at 1 AM.

A little funny story .. I bought this from one of my friends on my mom board, and it came today. I got it out of the box. It's a "Hello Kitty" jewelery box. I got it for my sister. I took it out ..and Gracie saw it, and she was saying it was hers .. saying "pretty". I let her look at it and play with it, and I said no honey ..it's for Lesya .. but I promise you I will ask her to give it back to you when you are older, you are too young. So I took it to put away ..and she got all sad and was saying "mine, mine .. give it!"
