Happy 1st day of December!!!
One of my roommates in college always said this to one of her friends and for some reason ever since she told me about it, I started writing it down in my journal. Now... I say it to you all. :)
All I can say is PRECIOUS
Tea Parties and Books
So I recently joined a "tea party and book club" with a bunch of girls from the University. We basically read a book then gather together, drink herbal tea and discuss the book. Tonight was our first get together. We read The Bell Jar by Slyvia Plath. Before discussing the book, I didn't know if I liked it or not... now I like it. However, I only feel that way because I discussed it with others and better understood Slyvia's writing styles ( I personally think discussing this book may be the only way to enjoy it). The book is basically about a girl whose insanity takes over her and she finds herself inside this "the bell jar." This book makes me really think about my own life. Am I really doing what I want to be doing or am I doing what others want me to do? I am enjoying my life and am loving what I am doing. My answer is, YES, I am doing what I want to be doing. I want to be a mom, a wife, a fitness instructor, and so much more. I can constantly see the Lord's hand in my life. I absolutely LOVE my life!! What about you?
What a cute baby! Are you guys planning on going to Rochester for New Year's? I thought you were but then I thought maybe I'd just made that up in my head. Anyway, we'll be there; if you aren't we'll have to get together soon in VA!
ReplyDeleteI've never read the Bell Jar. I'm jealous about the book club--I would have been there in a heartbeat! My response to your question? I'm having a lot of fun in my life now, and I love where I am, but I don't feel like I have it ALL figured out yet. But that's part of what's exciting about it--the figuring out itself. :-)
