"I do not just want to read books; I want to climb inside them and live there." -Anonymous

That quote is especially true right now. I seem to have come down with a cold. A nasty one too. Everything's sore, and I am SO tired. However, I couldn't go to bed without sharing something. So here is a picture I think of when people tell me to be optimistic. I feel like the elephant.

In this time of sickness and struggle, just remember this: it's okay to be down and out for a couple days, which is exactly what I plan to do. I'll watch some Downton Abbey, drink some orange juice, and curl up with a book and take a well-deserved nap.

Be back soon!
