My first book on my Kindle Fire ~ #27 Still Waters by Misha Crews. It was a free one with my free month subscription to Amazon Prime...{and I've orders two separate things just so I could take advantage of the free Amazon Prime Shipping...I don't know if I'll continue the subscription. The free video is the best feature, but I really won't use $80 of it a year}ANYWAY. Good book. The characters were really interesting, as all people really are. I enjoyed the study of what makes each one tick...and the secrets, oh the secrets. And Frank, who I didn't want to like, who was really the mystery, turned out to be a sad, scared, and very hurt good guy.
Lot's of quotes since I really like the highlight & bookmark features of my Kindle! (put no page #'s, only locations...which mean not much. I'll include the chapters)
ch2 ~ Routine equals control. {oh how very very true, my OCD self, friends & family}
PART 2: LIFE "If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden." --Frances Hodgson Burnett
ch8 ~ ...the "can-do" attitude of the Seabees. The difficult we do at once. The impossible takes a bit longer.
ch8 ~ vocabulary word ~ gamine: meaning: a girl with mischievous or boyish charm
ch13 ~ When I was younger, I used to sometimes get confused between the words 'fidelity' and 'integrity.' But then Lucien explained to me that 'fidelity' comes from Latin word fidelitas, which means faithful. And 'integrity' comes from the Latin word integritas, which means whole. That's when I finally understood that in order to have integrity, one must maintain wholeness.
ch21 ~ "We live in dangerous times, Jenna." His voice was low ans fervent. "If you want to find happiness, you have to first find the things that make you feel safe. Grab them tight, and never let go."
ch22 ~ cool word:
ch27 ~ But she couldn't change what had happened. There was nowhere to go but forward. {great advice!}
ch28 ~ "In times of trouble, my grandmother used to say, 'Pray to God, but row for shore.'" Then she'd gripped Jenna's shoulders and looked her straight in the eye. "Faith plus action. It will be difficult, but you will get there. When you feel like giving up, have faith and keep rowing."
Part Three: Afterlife: "All changes, even the most longed for, ahve their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another." --Anatole France
Epilogue: {great phrase} harmonious cacophony
