second thoughts

How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world. -Anne Frank

I'll probably grow old with my three best friends, which would be fantastic.

One of my new year plans is to read more. I absolutely love reading, but rarely do it. So its January third and I have #1 of the new year checked off my list. Go me. I read it in one sitting...and I recommend it to anyone and everyone. A Lifetime of Secrets by Frank Warren. Turns out Frank is a pretty clever guy, and blogs. He started the blog as a community art project where people would send in their secrets to him and he would post it. The idea is, that by reading someones secret you'll see apart of yourself in some of them and reflect on them...or the secret might change your view point on something. Well the site was a hit, and now he has multiple editions of his post secret book out.

The Forward will give you chills and possibly put a tear in your eye, and you'll be probably left thinking twice about your relationship with your siblings. The book goes on, arranging secrets by age so you can see common threads in people, how common themes change and/or stick with you as you grow old.

I laughed and cried, and was left in deep thought after a few of them, as some hit me so close to home about things that have been circling in my mind for the past couple of months.
