Books are my main motivation--especially since that's all I really talk about. :-) <br /><br />I like to take notes when I read, although I've gotten somewhat out of the habit since I started blogging. I sometimes do it still, but not as often. It depends on the book. <br /><br />Aw! That's so nice of you to say. I'm glad I inspire you. You inspire me too. :-) I think we all feel discouraged sometimes. It's nice to be surrounded by others who can help us pull through.<br /><br />I do feel very lucky to have my daughter. She's very special to me. She's such a sweet girl. Hopefully she'll still be that way when she's a teen. Haha<br /><br />I still haven't found my original copy of Seraphina. Maybe I gave it away without realizing it. At least I got to read it anyway.

I felt a little bad for Mouse at her soccer class. She went from being the oldest and fastest to being the smallest. She's suddenly very timid. I'm sure she'll get the hang of it as she goes and gains more confidence. Just as a mother, it pulls at the heartstrings a little, you know? She seemed to have fun though, and that is what matters. <br /><br />I hope you are able to go to the airshow this summer. I have been to a few over the years and always enjoy them. I love airplanes, especially the F-16 jets which the Thunderbirds fly. I also grew up watching the Blue Angels. I'm just in awe of what they can do.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-69725093990529476062016-04-19T11:34:20.436-07:002016-04-19T11:34:20.436-07:00Maureen - I hope you enjoying your Monday!

We didn't either, although they moved some of our patio furniture around. My daughter's trampoline seems to slide this way and that whenever it's windy. You'd think it was too heavy for that, but I guess not. <br /><br />Letting go of all those "shoulds" was definitely freeing for me as a blogger. And not reviewing my stats takes away any pressure I felt to gain followers--or feel sad when I lost them. It was too anxiety inducing for me. <br /><br />I love dragons too. I really want to get to Seraphina soon as I've been craving fantasy for awhile. I am really enjoying When the Moon is Low. Hopefully I will finish it in the next day or so. <br /><br />I really like Red too. :-) I have had mixed feelings about this season of Blacklist. I'll be curious to know what you think when you watch it. I hear there's going to be a spin off with one of the major characters.

How frightening! I hope they weren't hurt. That was such a horrific tragedy. I can understand your not wanting to go to an airshow as a result. We stayed safely at home--mostly because of the crowds--but I was glad for the view of some of the shows from home. We were hoping we could see some of it from the park where my daughter was playing soccer, but the wind delayed several of the flight demonstrations. <br /><br />I hope to start Seraphina in the next day or so.
