Thank you.

Thank you for all the kind comments today - so totally cool.

Last night I finished a book I have been reading called The Memory Keeper's Daughter. One of my occupational hazards (along with a deep-ingrained love of reading) is picking up books at airports as I wait for my next flight. I have a huge stack here at home.

This was a heavy book. Emotionally heavy. But good. One that will stick with you after you are done with it (like another favorite of mine The Time Travelers Wife). Both are recommended if you are looking for something to add to your own personal list.

In the mail today I got the newest issue of Body + Soul magazine. It is the December issue and it is a good one. All about getting yourself in the right place before the holidays - finding balance - all that yummy stuff. Just looking through it tonight made me slow down a bit. Take a deeper breath.

Tonight when I crawl into bed I will begin a new book (oh man, one of my favorite things): The History of Love

And thank you again for all the birthday well wishes. It was a good day.
