Books.

I started reading a new book today. This one is called The Dive from Clausen's Pier. After finishing up The Time Traveler's Wife last week I was feeling hungry for more books that had the same power to engross me, to wrap me up in their story. I also ordered Sea Glass and Reading Lolita in Tehran. The newness and possibility at the start of a new book is one of my favorite things.

I go through phases where all I want to do is read all the time. Forget everything else. Other times it is all I can do to just read my email. I am the same way with scrapbooking lately too - I have been creating in big spurts and then I will not touch a thing for days. I am guessing and hoping that this is a signal of a new kind of balance for me...the ability to shift from one thing to another...allowing myself to obess over one thing and then stop and obsess over another for awhile. Always bringing me back to the center.
 
On another note, there is going to be a week-long special on NBC regarding autism. Here is a link to a post on Two Peas: Autism on the Today Show and NBC News.
