MYSELF AND BARNES AND NOBLE

Myself and Barnes and Noble,

a good combination and at the same time,

not a good one. 

I loose time when I enter there.

Like a library, there is no better place I love than

to be surrounded by books, books, books

and other people who love books.

I swear, I went in there for one simple gift card

and the next time I looked at the time,

3 hours had passed!

My favorite place to hang is those gem of books

I find on the bargain shelves.

Monday I come across this most awesome little book,

LIVE AND LEARN AND PASS IT ON

by: Jackson Brown

I don't know if you can actually call this a book

by one author as what he did was began

to ask people of all ages the question,

What have you learned so far in life?

He has compiled all the answers in this sweet little book,

no names follow their answers, only their age.

Amazing how the age of the person answering the 

question becomes as important as the actual answer.

I am in love, swooning over the whole entire book.

It costed only 6 dollars and think I have to buy 

a few more copies for gifts.

As for mine, it is highlighted all over,

ear tabbed, marked, 

In the next few posts, want to share some of these wonderful 

sentences. Today:

I'VE LEARNED THAT REGARDLESS OF YOUR

RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR PARENTS, YOU

WILL MISS THEM TERRIBLY AFTER THEY ARE GONE

     age 53

I'VE LEARNED THAT IF YOUR CHILDREN FEEL

SAFE, WANTED AND LOVED, YOU ARE 

A SUCCESSFUL PARENT.

age 39

I'VE LEARNED THAT YOU CAN'T HIDE

A PIECE OF BROCCOLI IN A GLASS OF MILK

age 7

See what I mean? How the ages become so important

in the sentence?

More later as I now go get ready to have a school lunch with 

my favorite little name sake...
