So I commend the enjoyment of life...Then joy will accompany them in their toil all the days of the life 

God has given them under the sun.

 Ecclesiastes 8:15

 1. My friend Jo'Ell’s laughter 

 2. Skin warmed by the SUN
3. Hours of pushing my littlest boys on the swings.
4. Popsicle smiles of grape, strawberry and lime
5.  Moments we as a family enjoy one another & find it easy to love
6. Moments we as a family fight, struggle & learn more how to love
7. A good book to read -brother Phillip's recommendation for me to try reading something new :)
 
 
 Rose has always felt out of place in her family, a wanderer in a bunch of homebodies. So when an enormous white bear mysteriously shows up and asks her to come away with him--in exchange for health and prosperity for her ailing family--she readily agrees. The bear takes Rose to a distant castle, where each night she is confronted with a mystery. In solving that mystery, she loses her heart, discovers her purpose, and realizes her travels have only just begun.
As familiar and moving as "Beauty and the Beast" and yet as fresh and original as only the best fantasy can be, East is a novel retelling of the classic tale "East of the Sun, West of the Moon," a sweeping romantic epic in the tradition of Robin McKinley and Gail Carson Levine.
