I like big books!

I saw this really funny video that appealed to me because I like big books!

Happy reading everyone!

Favorite time with my mom

As it's Mother's Day in the US, this got me thinking about my mom and how we've been great friends throughout my life. I love my mom very much and one of my favorite things that I liked doing with her as a kid was reading. My mom would read to me before I went to bed and it was really fun because she would do all the voices in the stories which made the characters more real to me. My favorite book that my mom read to me as a child was The Railway Children by E. Nesbit. I still like that book today. Now I'm older, while she no longer reads to me,  we share books and I'm forever grateful for the fact that she instilled in me a love of reading.  Anyway, I send my love to my mom and to all mothers!

Awesome Walk for Epilepsy

Today I volunteered at the Boston Walk for Epilepsy to benefit the Epilepsy Foundation New England. I always have a lovely time when I go to volunteer at these events each year because my friends are there and everyone just seems really cheerful.  It's super fun and what made it even nicer this year is that they had Mickey and Minnie Mouse as mascots. As many families who came to the walk brought a lot of young children, it was really sweet to see all these kids get so excited to see Mickey and Minnie Mouse.  I just like seeing people so happy. Plus, we raised quite a bit of money for programs that help people with epilepsy which really is awesome!

I Wish You Many Blue Skies

The composer and lyricist Irving Berlin was born today in 1888. He wrote the song"Blue Skies" which I really like because to me it's about choosing to see the happy things that life has to offer in each day. Thus, I wish you many happy days and many blue skies to come.

Happy Thursday

I want to wish everyone the happiest of Thursdays! It's one day closer to Friday and that's something to celebrate! I hope you had a nice day and I wish you a very happy tomorrow!

Spread the love

I find spreading love to be one of the nicest things I can do, or at least to me  it’s always felt like the nicest thing to do. Even if the love I show to others isn’t returned, I like knowing that I can still show love to people by being kind. So I’d say kindness has always been my rainbow. When I’m kind to others my life seems brighter and better for taking that action. Love in kindness is one of the best things there is. So I send lots of love to all who read this.

My mum's favorite naturalist

"It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living."-David Attenborough

As it's almost mother's day I thought I'd share a quote here from my mum's favorite naturalist whose name is David Attenborough. My mum and I really like his voice and I felt this quote from him was really lovely as it expresses awesome the world can be. One of the most beautiful things I've seen in nature is a sunset. I know it might not seem that big a deal but I like how it sprays color across the sky. It shows me how beauty and light can be found in each day despite what darkness may come and that thought makes me feel happy!
