Great Books, Great Music and Hemingway
Hello! Hello! Hello!!!!!!
As I was driving home this afternoon, I was thinking about all of the books and music I really, truly like. So, I thought, “What the heck!!” , and decided I would give you a list of my All Time Favorite Books and Music. Please feel free to check out any of these authors/artists. In my humble opinion, I believe they are all fantastic.
Books/Magazines (In no particular order!)
A Prayer for Owen Meany…John Irving
Pride and Prejudice…Jane Austen
Fingerprints of the Gods…Graham Hancock
All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten…Robert Fulghum
For the Love of Prague…Gene Deitch
Cacique…Bishop Robert Baker
The Inferno…Dante Alighieri
The Passion of Mary Magdalen…Elizabeth Cunningham
The Normal Heart…Larry Kramer
Jane Eyre…Charlotte Bronte
Music (In no particular order)
I Really Want You…James Blunt
Black Water…The Doobie Brothers
Danny’s Song…Anne Murray
Mercy…Duffy
Low…Flo Rida
Who Says You Can’t Go Home?…Bon Jovi
Bohemian Rhapsody…Queen
The More I See You…Michael Buble
Breathe…Faith Hill
Here, There and Everywhere…The Beatles
These books and pieces of music are just a few of many outstanding, thought provoking and humorous books/music I have experienced. I have specifically left out instrumental music and Broadway, as those will be “Lists” at a later date:) There are SO many beautiful classical pieces and modern instrumental pieces (Jazz, Blues, New Age) I thought it would be unfair to include them. Same with Broadway. I could actually say that for most types of music. Maybe I’ll make a point of educating myself better and in a later Blog list my Top Ten in each different genre.
I WILL do that. Look for it in a couple weeks!!!!!
Life
I have a couple of friends who I am extremely proud of in regards to how they are “handling” their situations. Both of them are in situations that I would never want to find myself in and both of them are doing the best they can with what they have. They have both “stepped up”…and are sacrificing themselves for the “Greater Good”. Selflessly…completely giving themselves to the situation and making the best of the worst. Saying I am proud of them doesn’t seem enough. You both know who you are.
And you both know I would move mountains for you if you needed me to.
Good Night Everyone:) If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking. ~Buddhist Saying
