As my journey through the history and behind the scenes of how Starbucks came to be ended last night, well my journey through one book did, today I excited began a completely different book today, a novel entitled, "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein. It is rare I read novels, as my usual books of choice are non-fiction, self-help, improvement, learn and grow in some way books...but with a gift card a couple weeks ago, I saw this paperback sitting out at the bookstore and the cover looked right at me. Well, technically it was then eyes on the puppy photographed on the cover that looked at me, but I recognized it as a book others I know have read and enjoyed. So excitedly I began late last night, I'm sure it technically was really this morning. I didn't have much free time for reading today, so my daughter was shocked when I was reading this evening and did not have the TV on until the 9:00 evening news. Really Mom, READING? Yes, reading can be done at the Prime-time hour, imagine that 11 year old daughter of mine! It can even be joyful!!! One quote stood out that I wanted to share tonight...
"Such a simple concept, yet so true: that which we manifest is before us; we are the creators of our own destiny. Be it through intention or ignorance, our successes and our failures have been brought on by none other than ourselves." pg 43...spoken by, the dog, Enzo.
