If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?

However, when I was a fairly young girl I read Lost Horizons by James Hilton. It has some happy parts and some sad parts. I didn't think much about it as a girl, except that it was a great story. But now I am 67 and I have lived a long time, experienced much and done much. Shangri-la is a place I would go. I would go there to think without so many worldly distractions and to rest. Knowing myself I wouldn't stay long because there are so many things I feel compelled to do before I die but I would stay long enough to have a darn good rest and to do some inner work. I have discovered that inner work usually matters most but it is hard to do in our busy world. (less)

Reasons for my Thanksgiving Celebration

I am Grateful for:

I’m grateful for my seven children, all of whom are different and amazing. Raising them was a learning experience for me. With their help and forgiveness, I was able to understand what I didn’t know and grow in ways I wasn’t aware I needed to. Then, despite the challenges my growth made for them, they loved me and still do to this day. Amazing!

I’m grateful for sixteen wonderful,
