Ever since then I've thought that it was a perfect holiday read as it serves as a reminder to appreciate the simple things and to be grateful for what we do have, rather than lamenting over what we don't. <br /><br />Reading it in one Saturday is no small feat!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-92056272802317777462010-12-08T09:13:58.871-05:002010-12-08T09:13:58.871-05:00Beautiful post, I so enjoyed reading it!

I wish more bloggers put their reading into context, I think it's almost as important as the characters and plot sometimes.<br /><br />Also, darn you for making me add this to my reading list!
