Reading...

Lately, I have been reading a lot, and am finding less books for me to read. So, I am calling for books to read or poetry. I have been re-reading Tolkien and Austen, lately. Also, I have been reading Maynard. So... here is my plea, what should I read next? Last week I read a book in three days.

I will leave you with some poems, since I found them very sweet or compelling to the mind.

Autumn Morning
An hour ago I could not see for mist
These hills that now are rich in green and gold-
Under a sky of palest amethyst,
And in an air benignant, shrewd and cold.
Hardly perceptible is any change:
Rime on the grass, and stillness as of prayer
Each morning; and it strikes the heart as strange
To find some branches are already bare.
Each tingling dawn the winter draws more near,
While time stands breathless, rapt in loveliness,
Staying awhile the passage of the year
To gaze upon the woods' brocaded dress;
And I, when one leaf flutters from a branch,
Think it the signal for an avalanche.
Blind
I cannnot see;
Yet God gives shining dreams to me
Of rainbow and of golden-fruited tree.
How many go
Who, seeing yet sightless, never know
How blue the ocean is, how white the snow.
And I shall gaze
Enraptured on the Ray of Rays-
Brighter, perhaps, for all my darkened days.
Both by Maynard.

So, I thought my luck was changing... WRONG.

Last week, I fell at my job and it was a bad one. I popped a blood vessel in my arm and it looks great (NOT! Ask anyone who has seen it.). Also, I have many bruise to account for this fall. I will tell you this though, that I am extremely lucky to not break any bones.
So in the last month or so... I have faced pneumonia, hit my car, gone further in debt, and fell really bad. When will it stop?

I am excited about a few things, though. I got to see an ultrasound of a baby, and it was awesome. I got to see this little boy, who is about to welcome this world with his beautiful presence, and it just got me so excited. He waved his little toes on the ultrasound, and I just couldn't help but to giggle at how cute that was. I could talk all day about it.
Also, my family comes next week to see me. I miss them so much. Especially, my niece, she is such a cutie. So, I will be busy in the coming week with my job, my family coming, and not to mention the HOLIDAYS :). So... I will start updating hopefully more frequently in the near future, maybe tomorrow after attempting to make doughnut's at my friend's house.
