I love everything ever written by Elizabeth Berg. I follow her on Facebook and her posts are exquisite. Her followers begged her to put them into a book and she made that happen. That's this small book that I pick up frequently and read a few pages while drinking my morning tea. I've been spacing it out since I bought it but this morning, I read the last entry with a lump in my throat. While I am putting this in my LT library as read, I will keep this book next to my chair and read it again and again. It's a joy and a great gift for yourself (or your friends and family). ( )

The author began to randomly post thoughts on face book, and this book contains some of her writings. Filled with joy and the wonderment of small things such as a baby bird -- with "thread like feet" -- I love that description -- and, the sound of children on a playground, I smiled throughout.

Many pages contain conversations with her dog, and the love of animals shines through.

I own many of Berg's books, and as I work my way through organizing my 3,000 plus books, I will be sure to put her books aside to read. In the meantime, of course, I went to the library and brought home two that caught my attention.

If you long to read the joy of everyday pleasures, this book is for you.
