Books and Pages and a Happy Place.

I would like to add some beauty to life, said Anne dreamily. I don't exactly want to make people know more though I know that it is the noblest ambition but I would love to make them have a pleasanter time because of me to have some little joy or happy thought that would never have existed if i had not been born. - Anne of Avonlea

Spend your free time the way you like, not the way you think you’re supposed to. Stay home on New Year’s Eve if that’s what makes you happy. Skip the committee meeting. Cross the street to avoid making aimless chitchat with random acquaintances. Read. Cook. Run. Write a story.

In my mind I am eloquent; I can climb intricate scaffolds of words to reach the highest cathedral ceilings and paint my thoughts. But when I open my mouth, everything collapses.

Don’t let me ever think, dear God, that I was anything but the instrument for Your story—just like the typewriter was mine.
