Am I living up to my potential?
Now, for those of you who really know me, I do read a lot, but the books are usually non-fiction and have something to do with my work, my hobbies, or how to improve my life. So reading a novel is a big step for me and so far I am thoroughly enjoying the books I have chosen. Ten books by the end of summer is my goal and I am on book number four. So I am off to a great start.I have not blogged in forever, so I thought I might begin again with my updated Living Life List to see if I am making any progress on getting out of my comfort zone and trying new things. So below are some of the things that I have accomplished this summer, and I am also including a list of what I anticipate doing before I head back to school in just six week.
Oh, and just in case you are wondering, Gretchen is a character from my last book and it turns out that her attorney was the father of her baby. Hmmm, who would have guessed......anyway, it was a great read by Barbara Delinsky, my new favorite author.
