Ever-Changing Reflection

Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.

Wishful Wednesday: Book Character


This week's topic is ....
'I wish' .... I could play a character's role in a book and it would be Elizabeth Gilbert in Eat, Pray, Love!
Include the fictional characters name and novel too!


This might be my new favorite book, even though I read it over a year ago. I'm sorry Liz isn't exactly a character, as this book is a memoir, but I couldn't think of another character I'd rather be right now.

I admire her strength in admitting and then doing what is best for her. I admire her courage in her travels. I've been in painful situations like hers, but I've never had the strength and courage and clarity to do what she did. I would love to pamper myself in Italy, devote myself in India and love myself in Thailand. The experiences she had, the friends she made, the things she saw... I want it all!

I love it when I find a book where I completely relate to the main character! You can't ask for a better read. Too bad you can't have the rest too, huh?
