Ten Books

Had an interesting conversation the other night at the Mockingbird Cafe. A woman was telling me some of the kindnesses she had received after the storm. She said the greatest gift that she received was books. All of her books were destroyed by Katrina. They had been treasured touchpoints in her life and they were all gone. A friend asked her which books she couldn't live without and then sent her the top ten. Made me start thinking about what would be on my top ten list.

So many things are taken for granted until they are gone. The folks here appreciate every thoughtful gift given. Thank you for continuing to keep giving to bring back the luxury of taking things for granted.
