A Wish For Winter

by Viola Shipman

“Books expand our minds. They change our perspectives on the world. They allow us to escape, to hope, to dream, to mourn, to walk in someone else’s shoes.” I look at Cletus. “They save lives.”

Just remember we only get a short journey on this earth, and each day is not only a chance to heal but also to love with all your wounded heart.”

Sometimes, if you don’t have an end goal in mind, the journey leads you to something you never dreamed you’d find, something even more spectacular.

“is the hope that Christmas and life can be the way you want it to be. It can never be the same, but it can be filled with miracles and beauty and wishes you never dreamed or expected. But you have to gift that to yourself.”
