You don’t understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you’re expected move again only you don’t remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County

It was the great escape, the prison break, The light of freedom on my face

29 January, 2024 /

It’s the end of January and I have read a book a day. It’s actually the 29th and I have already passed up a book a day because I read FOUR books last weekend.
I had forgotten how much I like James Patterson and once I get sucked into a series there is no stopping until I finish it.
I’m waiting for the hyper fixation of reading to wear off so I can move on to something else. I did pull out my ephemera stuff and decorated my travel journal. Oh, I didn’t mention that did I? I’m going to travel this year…a lot of travel.
I have an opportunity and I am going to take it. No regrets. Well, I mean if I die in a foreign country then there will be regrets…oh no there won’t, cause I’ll be dead.
