Cold

It has been bitter cold lately. I do not mind the cold but come on. I have been freezing lately but do not dare to touch the thermostat because then the bill will be even more insane than it already is. The head of my bed is against the north wall of the house and we do not have a head board. So while trying to sleep the cold seeps through the wall and freezes my head. I have gone to sleeping with a baby blanket wrapped around my head and over my face. It is light weight enough that I don't feel like I am smothering but I don't wake up with my face freezing and sore. I am sure I look hilarious with that and my CPAP on but i would rather be comfortable.

Broken

I have just finished the book "Broken" by Megan Hart. It is billed as erotica-and can cause a bit of heat but it is also about a woman and how her life changed after marriage. There is a quote in there that touched me so deeply and I feel applies to me and my life. I have reread it several times and want to share it here:

A red ribbon, a poem. Our love, mad, bad and dangerous to know. Once it had been enough to build our lives around. Now I wasn't so sure, and both of us knew it. We were broken, brittle and fragile. The question was, were we still precious to each other? Or instead of everything falling into place, had it fallen into pieces.


Of course if you want to borrow this book or others just ask.

The Truth

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it is harder every time. You will break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You will fight with your best friend. You will blame a new love for things an old one did. You will cry because time is passing too fast, and you will eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you have never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you will never get back.
