I have found a song that I think is my favorite. Life is Wonderful by Jason Mraz. I don't think I ever really had a favorite song before, and I'm not sure if I do now. But I listened to it four times in a row as soon as my friend told me about it. Then I listened to it four times in a row yesterday. And I listened to it three times in a row today, and I want to go listen to it again.
I'm reading Oliver Twist. I've been reading Oliver Twist for about the past year. But now I really am. I'm into it. I'm loving it. Dickens is really fascinating if you remember you are reading Dickens. I love that the movie was different from the book. Usually I hate that, and usually I read the book first. But this time, I watched the movie before I got half way through, and I love that I don't know what is going to happen next, because they cut this part of the book out of Oliver!
We leave this weekend for a long trip to Tennessee to see relatives and South Carolina for the NCFCA National Tournament, which my brothers qualified for. I'm really excited. I'll also be gone for a while. When I come back, I'll be done reading Oliver Twist. When I come back, I'll have listened to "Life is Wonderful" 13, 487, 904 times.
Excepting the first two pictures, which were found on the internet and my windowsill, respectively, these pictures were taken from my Oliver Twist which I purchased at an antique shop a few years ago. Title pages aren't what they used to be. Is a four-leafed clover still lucky if you find it an hundred years after it was picked? Who is the Thorke Thimble Club? And what costs $3.00?
You have a way cuter windowsill than I do :) And your dickens book looks like a great buy with lots of character! I once tried to read Our Mutual Friend...I "read" it for about a year and then gave up. Perhaps I should pick it up again and see what wonderful things I discover!
ReplyDeleteI am well on my way to listening to Life is Wonderful four times in a row...
Hi!
ReplyDeleteYes, 1 Cor. 13 is a beautiful passage, I agree. It is also a passage that I need to get a grasp on! I'm afraid that sometimes I am not very loving. :(
Yellow is a gorgeous color! I just bought some pretty yellow shoes, and I can't wait until I can wear them.
Have a very bright, very cheerful day!

I _love_ that bedroom. It makes me so, so happy. And the flower is so pretty and bright. And I've found four-leafed clover in several old books. :)
