Puzzle Me Complete ... Believer, Mother, Teacher, Writer.

The one thing I enjoy is reading. But it is not just reading that I enjoy ... it is being able to just put life's hectic demands aside and make time for myself. It puts me in a good mood and it allows me the chance to see the world or different worlds through someone else's eyes.  When you have a chance, take up a book and read. Even better... read with your child ... it is amazing to see how their little eyes light up because you are sharing something special with them. Let them see their their own imaginary world can come to life with words. Inspire them.  Have a great day everyone.  Jillian

This was a line I heard from the Sound of Music, and it has walked with me through all the stages of my life. At the time I first heard it, I obviously did not know the meaning... I was a kid just falling in love with Julie Andrews ... who wasn't.  However now it carries... so much more meaning. Now I see it as a window to understand change. I see it is an opportunity to believe that something better is coming. It is the keyhole to a positive outlook. It means that life will go on, no matter what, (even if at the time, every bone in your body believed it has just ended).  So my life has changed .... and it has taken me a long time to get to this point. It took all this time for me to face change and accept it... and see it as a window for better things ... and in a way it has become much better.  So I start by sharing that I went through some emotional changes ... Not going into details because I am no longer dwelling on it ... but it did not mean what I experienced...
