My dear sister recommended a book for me that she said was an ‘uplifting read’ especially for moments in life when an uplift is needed. It certainly has that feeling and is beautifully written. I love the philosophy of live this one life well and look after each other.
I am delighted with today’s angel. (I won’t show you everything I make, I promise! I am just so pleased to find I can still make a decent job of it.)
I came across a new word today –snudge. It’s a verb from as in to snudge along, that is to be walking along, looking downwards as if totally engrossed in something. It made me think of those who walk about with their phones missing all the beautiful glimmers of magic that are all around us. I found it while browsing The Horologicon by Mark Forsyth.

I’ve read two books by Matt Haig: “The Midnight Library” and “How to Stop Time,.” and I loved them both.

Me too. This one is different and took some effort to read. For me the middle section needed the effort and then it became quite compelling. I hope this one works for you. I’d love to hear if it does. 🙂

Thanks for the book recommendation. I added it to my library queue. Love the angel and the new to me word, Snudge!

It’s an interesting read. There was a patch in the middle when I wondered why I was reading it and then it became interesting again. I hope it works for you. 🙂
