Late Nights

It’s after 1 am and I’m up unable to sleep watching The Crown. I love history, so to watch real events turned into entertainment is fun.

There is a show on Netflix called Sweet Magnolias starring Brooke Elliott. She happens to be an actress I really like. She was the star of Drip Dead Diva. Yes, I’m slightly obsessed with that show. Netflix stopped making it available and I had to buy the box set. I am obsessed the way some people are obsessed with the show the Golden Girls (rightfully so. So funny!)

I wish there was a way to read in the dark so I don’t disturbed my sweet hubby. I’m finally getting around to reading Tolkien’s The Fellowship of the Ring. My poor father is in a bit of shock that his daughter, at the age of 48 is finally reading this book, one of his favorites out of many. He asked me why I had not read it before. I really have no idea, except for when I tried back in my 20’s I had other books I preferred. Then I had kids and didn’t have time. When I did try, my time was so limited that I’d start only to have my attention diverted again and again, making it hard to get into the book and figure out what was happening. It ultimately began to feel like a waste of tine. Plus in my 20’s and early’s I wasn’t very interested in the story line.

Now as I read I think: ‘Girl you were a fool! This book is AMAZING!

From a spiritual point of view, I’m in awe. Tolkien wrote so many people at different levels could enjoy the book.
