You gotta be wise

Listen as your day unfolds, challenge what the future holds, try and keep your head up to the sky. Lovers, they may cause you tears, go ahead release your fears, stand up and be counted, don't be ashamed to cry. You gotta be, You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard, You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, You gotta stay together

Ronald Reagan

"Abraham Lincoln recognized that we could not survive as a free land when some men could decide that others were not fit to be free and should therefore be slaves. Likewise, we cannot survive as a free nation when some men decide that others are not fit to live and should be abandoned to abortion or infanticide."
~ Ronald Reagan – Abortion and the Conscience of the Nation ~

"Chaos is more freedom; in fact, total freedom. But no meaning. I want to be free to act, and I also want my actions to mean something."

I am reading "The Time Traveler's Wife". I have been reading it for about a week now, reading a little bit at night. Now I am far enough into the book, where I don't want to put it down. I have been reading it on and off throughout the day (in between the girls and things like feeding them. ha). I love the feeling of becoming so engrossed in a book that everything else disappears around you. I was so deeply engrossed in the book while the girls were sleeping that I had 'forgotten' where I was and who I was, and was 'in' the book. Then the doorbell rang, yanking me back to reality. I still feel "groggy" like I have just woken up out one of those dreams that you are so deep into, so apart of that it feels like this is you reality, not a dream. That is how I feel when I have become so engrossed in the book, and then I must put it down. When I put it down, I feel like an addict, one whom is just passing time, thinking about the book, craving the book, and counting down time until the next possible moment that I can pick up the book, and become engrossed, become one with the book.

Ok. That sounded incredibly stupid. But I do so love that feeling that a good book brings--the feeling of being able to be so completely absorbed in the book.

Ok. Karina is here, and I think the girls want to get on the computer now.
