That which you manifest is before you





***********************************************************************************
My crown is in my heart,
not on my head,
Nor decked with diamonds
and Indian stones,
Not to be seen:
My crown is caled CONTENT:
A crown it is,that seldom kings enjoy
                              -----William Shakespeare

******************************************************************************************************

I had lunch today with my book club,The Bookies.
We read the book "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein
If you haven't read it..please do
It is a story about life
It is a story about a dog named, Enzo
You will never forget Enzo

After our meeting we went to a Chinese Bistro
and had so much fun laughing and talking
about everything.
I left so content
content with my life
good friends
good book
good discussion
good food
It doesn't get much better

not even for a king

  1. Oh, yes I loved that book. Life through the eyes of a precious doggie. Sounds like a good book club group. Lucky you. They all must love having you in the group.

    What are you reading next for the book club? Just curious.

    Lots and lots of rain, wind, thunder and lighting in CA.

  9. Hey Suz,

    I tried to leave a comment on your writing closet post, but kept getting blocked. So here I am with good things to say about this post too. Love the book suggestion and I'll get a copy soon.

    I understand about your writing closet. I have a shelf of blank, and not so blank, books, plus the computer. I cleaned out of my files recently and for the same reasons. The purge felt good!

    Thanks for your comment on my hot dog post. I've had Chicago-dogs that have tomato and pickle. We enjoy all hot dogs, but on birthdays we tend to go for the "traditional" Carolina dog.

  11. It was a wonderful book. I love Enzo. And yes, I was looking for Clifford in the restaurant. Great book. Great discussion. Great understanding. Because of you, the perfect facilitator. You do such a good job of bringing out every message in the book; things I didn't even think about. We got our money's worth!

  12. One of the best books I've read in a long time. Touching, honest, heartbreaking and crazy funny...especially the demonic stuffed zebra scene!
