Believing

If you're not paying attention to the task at hand, there's a higher risk of an error.  And so it was, that I returned Confessions of a Prairie B*tch by Alison Arngrim instead of When Breath Becomes Air.  Arngrim's book was a friend's recommendation, especially if I Liked Little House on the Prairie.

(Read all the books - check.  Watched all the episodes - check.  People called me Half-Pint - check.  Re-watched countless episodes with my uncles in adulthood - check.)

I was half-way through the book when User Error kicked in.

What would I read now?

A few hours later, I received an alert.  Becoming by Michelle Obama was ready to check-out as a "front of the line" if I'd commit to reading it in one week.  Yes, please!!

So this week, I was immersed in becoming, in overcoming, and in hope. I was wrapped up in kindness and humanity and helping.  I knew I wanted to read Mrs. Obama's book, but I didn't know just how much I needed to read it.  I'm so grateful that she shared her story and her journey.  I'm so grateful for her mom and family.  I'm so grateful for the women that surrounded her to encourage and lift.  I'm so grateful for her service to country and once again, to that of her husband, our 44th President.

I returned the book with a full heart.

A few hours later, another alert.  Seems Arngrim was ready again.  I still think books appear when we're ready.

Happy Hopeful Easter weekend!
