Changes in Life

Recently I have had a lot of changes is my life and my job. As I have been adjusting my styles to fit the new circumstances it got me to thinking about how changes can affect everything you do or say. No matter how big or small the changes, the effects are felt everywhere in your life. For example, when my previous boss left for a new job I was forced to adjust everything to doing an entire area on my own.  The changes in my job forced me to work longer hours and to take on additional responcebilitys. The longer hours made my degenerative disc disease enfused back very sore and made me cranky when I got home. My crankiness caused me to have difficulty talking to my husband and kids. Not being able to speak freely and happily with my husband and kids put a strain in my family. Now we have a new boss for my area and I am able to relax a little more. I still have the degenerative disc desease but I can leave when it acts up. Changes can be good like a raise or bad like getting laid off due to the business being shut down but there is always a balance somewhere else. we may not see it but it is there if we look hard enough. I have learned to accept change with open arms and a willing heart no matter what the circumstance. The size of the change does not matter to me. I know that no matter what there will be some good if I just look for it. I just have to look hard enough for it to show.

Old Friends

When you speak to old friends you have not seen in a long time you either realize they are one of your best friends or that they really did not know you. I discovered that i have a really good friend. She lives in another country and the only conversations we have are through face book but we are still good friends. I have a lot of acquaintances but few really good friends. But she is one of two that I have from High School. No one in the world knows you as well as an old friend does. No one can make you feel needed and understood like an old friend. New friends are nice and can feel comfortable but an old friend can tell you that you have not changed. They can tell you with conviction about the past in your life or how your repeating an old mistake.
I know friends in all sizes can be nice but an old friend can make you feel like your with family. Where would we be with out our friends to commiserate with and to laugh and joke with? I for one would be lost. Our friends are our support system and our sanity in some ways. When our kids or our husbands drive us past the point of no return our friends talk us down and make us laugh. My friends keep me sane and keep me from running away from the depressing times in my life. I miss my old friend. Thanks to modern technology I can talk to her and we can support each other through the changes in our life even though we live thousands of miles away from each other.

Favorite books

I was asked on twitter what my favorite book was. My Problem is I really do not have a favorite book. Maybe I just have not found it yet. However one of my favorite series is the womens murder club series by James Patterson. I love how a group of women from different aspects of crime detection, prevention, and reporting to solve crimes of passion. It is not always easy or happy for these ladies but they stick together no matter the loss of one of their own or if someone new enters their group.

Now i am not saying that I do not have a favoite genre or that I only read that genre. I read many books of all different types. A particular book my not be in my favorite genre but I may end up liking it anyway. The reason I read is for the simple enjoyment of the story and characters. I can get so engrossed in a story that i loose track of time and end up reading the day away. My favorite genre is fantasy/ mystery.

For example a book about a world where the humans turn in to dragons and are having a hard time adjusting to it. Then amongst the already occuring action a muder and kidnapping plot occurs. Yes this is a book that is already out there that I have read. I do not remember the title or auther but that is what the basics of the plot line was. It was one of my favoites to read. I have a wide variety of interests when I read due to it being my chance to explore other possibilitys.

Die For You by Lisa Unger

At first I was a little confused with this book.

I got lost in its confusing jumps from one persons view to another.

The beginning is good with character Isabel Raine

having a good morning with her husband Marcus.

Then he leaves for work and still

I was enjoying it. but when the adventure starts to

happen it gets a little confusing with the different points of view all in selfnarrative.

As your reading you have to try to figure out who's mind your in at the moment. It is not always immediately clear as to who's thoughts you are reading at the moment. In whole this is a good interesting book.

I found my self getting upset as Isabel would not just give up and enjoy what was around her but i suppose we all want answers and when betrayed can not give up until we find out why it happened and if they cared at all. It ends on a slightly positive note that i liked.

Once you get past all the twists and turns you will enjoy this book.

The beggining

I have been reading for many years. Since way before my memory starts my mother says. My interest begins with my mom and her creative way of getting me to read. The way my mother tells the story it was my teacher who called her and mentioned how concerned she was that i had no interest in reading at all. Well my mother read consistently and she decided to try something different with me. She had me pick out a book from the library and we brought it home. I started reading the first sentence out of a kids book. She then would read the next sentence out of her romance novel. Yes that is right a romance novel. So it sounded something like this: "The boy picked up the ball and threw it to Timmy. Mary ran her hands threw his dark hair"
Now to a young kid that is outrageously funny. Sense then I read constantly. I read the biggest Harry Potter book in one day. Did i mention that I am a very fast and competent reader? My family just can not believe it but I love books. Getting out of your life for a short time to enter a world that fills your imagination with ideas and thoughts that other wise you might never have had. To read a book about a fictitious place with a lot of different characters and unexpected action is my idea of a fun filled night. If you add a cup of coffee to that I will be happy for hours. Coffee , books , and Eagles are my interests. My writing is my secret passion.
The first time I saw a Eagle I was envious of their freedom and majestic look. I collect statues, clocks, musical globes, and a variety of other things that have the Bald Eagle on it. I am at peace when i hold my statues or working on my writing. As you can see my interests are simple but they mean a lot to me. With GOD at my side I can do anything.
