change-a-comin

Hello All,
I have been on a reading frenzy lately and I have acquired many names because of this; such as Library Jones, the girl who read and walks, the girl who is always studying, and the girl who cannot take a break. My response to all of them is “whatever”
The last book I read was Rosanne Cash Memoir, it is beautifully written, at times I felt as if she was sitting with me telling me a story. You should all read it; it is called “Composed”.
I also finished the “Orchid Thief” by another terrific writer and storyteller, Susan Orlean. The movie “Adaptation” is based on this book. I do not remember seeing the movie but I will add it to my list of must see.
I am currently finishing “The portable Blake” a collection of William Blake’s writing. I am not a poetry person and to broaden my horizon I thought I would start with one of the best, and I am enjoying his work.

On February 18, my employer told me that my services were not going to be need after April 29. In addition, with all this reading and learning, I am job hunting. Luckily, my proprietor agreed to let me out of my lease with one-month penalty, which will help mitigate my expenses. I will be moving whether I find a job or not, and only God knows where my next residence will be.
Therefore, a new life awaits me, which means new adventures, new friends and acquaintances, something I have been long for, so now the world is my oyster.
