Eat, Pray, Love - I've found myself recommending this book to a lot of you lately. If you haven't read this, I highly recommend it. It is all about the author's search for meaning in her life. She has a mental breakdown when she realizes she isn't leading the life she would like to and decides to take a year to sort it all out. She starts by spending four months in Italy and indulging herself, she then moves to India for four months to study meditation and yoga and spiritual fulfillment. Finally she moves to Bali for four months and learns how to combine indulgence with spiritual life. Along the way she runs into some interesting characters who have a lot of insight to give, not only the author, but the reader.
Big hugs to Vicki for the You Make Me Smile Award! I appreciate it more then words can say! So many of you make me smile, well I take that back ALL of you make me smile (esp. you Miss Vicki!).

Oh, blush! Thank you! Glad I make someone smile! LOL I think I should invent the "You Make Me Blush" award now!
How is your mother doing? I'm sure you're doing your best to keep her cheered up with your lovely things!
That makes me think of the best line in the movie "Elf"...
"Smiling is my favorite!"

Thanks for posting about Bella's new sweater. Just when I hoped she might get a chance to wear it soon, the temperature rose to 85 degrees! But she'll be ready when it cools back off.
Janice did a great job. I hope I can commission her to knit another sweater before too long.
