#32 & gt day 17

Today I am giving thanks for a run in the sun.  I could feel my stupid foot the full 4 & a half miles, but it was all done in the sunshine.  Beautiful day to run. {and I am thankful that I could only feel my foot, and that it didn't actually hurt...there is a huge difference!}

I also finished book #32 today.  Maisie Dobbs by Jacqueline Winspear is one I actually bought from Amazon {with a gift card, so it was really a birthday present} ~ and it was also highly recommended by my mom.  Good Book.  And I'm excited because it's a series...{just bought book 2 ~ the end to my birthday money}  It's set during and 10 years after the first world war in London.  Maisie is such a unique character...from housemaid to socially equal because of her progressive employer and her intelligence.  A love story, a mystery, a history lesson, it's filled with interesting characters and lots of truth.

Quotes: {love that most Kindle books actually have page #'s}
p6 ~ ...rubbed her neck at the place where worry always sat when it was making itself at home.  [great visual]
p12 ~ cool word

p80 ~ 'nother cool word & I didn't know there was actually spelling for letters {this word is 'H'es}

p104 ~ Stay with the question.  The more it troubles you, the more it has to teach you.  In time, Maisie, you will find that the larger questions in life share such behavior.
p141 ~ There is nothing of which every man is so afraid, as getting to know how enormously much he is capable of doing and becoming.
p145 ~ ...we are all a long time dead when we go, if you know what I mean.  This is our only ride on the merry-go-round.
p203 ~ Coincidence was a messenger sent by truth. {that's a Gibbs comment for sure}

fl: Even if she hadn't been the last person to walk through the turnstile at Warren Street tube station, Jack Barker would have noticed the tall, slender woman in the navy blue, thigh-length jacket with a matching pleated skirt sort enough to reveal a well-turned ankle.  ll: Well then, Billy--let's get on with it!
