good and bad

These last few days have been good as far as headaches go. However the hubby's grandmother did pass away on Sunday... apparently she had not been eating or drinking for some time and they had to give her extra morphine the night before. I am sad for his family especially his father who has lived with her for so long, but I can not see how to be anything but relieved for her... there isn't anymore pain and suffering. So bright and early... and I do mean early on Thursday our small clan is going to arizona for 8 days. We are going to attempt to split our time up evenly between family and some sort of fun/vacation stuff. Unfortunately this will be our family's only vacation probably at least for a year and a half, maybe more. We are very grateful that we did get our flights paid for by frequent flyer miles from the hubby's brother. So obviously this will probably be the last post for this month.

On to my book comments... I did finish Eat Pray Love... I want more, I hate when a book ends, especially a true life story and it's like okay what happens next. Don't me wrong, I loved the book... but there should be a sequel... I want a sequel... I need more. Truelly a great read!

So then I picked up another book... mistaken identity, it's actually a religious book, although it tells the real life story of two young women whose identities get mixed up, one dies in a crash, while the other is horribly injured and in a coma from that crash... and both women are strikingly similar in looks and body types. It was a bit too religious for my taste, but none the less it only took me three days to read, so it was another great read. from the religious aspect I like reading other peoples takes on religion and god, and this really got the picture of belief across... it was amazing how these families got through such an ordeal and could still believe in god and that this was his all in his great plan. it was actually awesome to read how two families could respect each other so much and just pray instead of blame, hate, or try to sue someone... we need more of the good stuff in this world and these families are a wonderful example for all to follow, with prayer and god or not. It too bad that they had to endure the circumstances to produce this fine example, but maybe that is what they mean by god's greater plan.

now I have to find another book... my hubby thinks I'm crazy, at work we can check books out for two weeks, kinda like a library, so I kept doing this when I have oodles and oodles of books at home... but lets face it most of the books I'm reading I wouldn't exactly buy. And of course it leaves me with more funds for my Pearl s Buck book collection.
