Then I was "forced" to read books by a certain date. That's no fun. I'll do a few here and there, if I want to read the book, but most of them will be on my time schedule, and what I want to read. You're right. I want to continue the joy I have from reading books. Thank you! All the best to you as well in 2015!Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-20351727927977817572015-01-05T08:27:19.427-06:002015-01-05T08:27:19.427-06:00Much as I love reading your blog, I can certainly ...Much as I love reading your blog, I can certainly understand the pressure you have put on yourself and the need after 10 years to pull back a little. I will look forward in 2015 to reading about new discoveries you have made. I just finished reading Wolf by Mo Hayder and what a great read it was - I am very excited to have found another author to add to my list of ones to follow - that is what keeps the joy in reading alive.

I hope your trips count, be...Happy New Year, Lesa!<br /><br />I hope your trips count, because they were fun to read about, and I learned from them—especially from your comments regarding the Peace Statue at St. John the Divine.<br /><br />Before I had seen it as good conquering evil, but after reading about your observations, I came to see it as an attempt to fight force with force which is a concept I have difficulty with—something I had not considered after 9/11, even during that eight months' time when St. John the Divine was a peaceful home to hundreds of volunteers serving the needs of rescue workers.<br /><br />All these years later I see the concept of fighting back very differently yet somehow was unaware that I held this ugly place for anger in my heart. I feel a lot of things now about that day but it does not include the desire to destroy in retribution.<br /><br />Thank you for helping me have a better year.Maureen Harringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499876353651763590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-28526147635992952942015-01-01T19:33:40.524-06:002015-01-01T19:33:40.524-06:00Thank you, Carol.
