make joy, while appropriate to the season, nearly impossible to feel. The loss of beloved friends, and of faith in

Library Bookmark - January 2021
New books have been acquired to join their
compatriots on our shelves. You would enjoy there's someone in the office, ring the bell by the door. They can see you (!) and unlock the LEFT door for you. Head to both the coffee area AND the second floor library. You have troubles with stairs? No problem!! The elevator is back in working order and would welcome your taking a trip! At the end of January (for the month of February) you will find a display in the coffee area of ͞the most-read books" during the 2017-2020 calendar years. Won't that be fun͍͍We have One book review this month (when you
finish a book, you too may leave a short review):Strength to Love by Martin Luther King, Jr.
This is a ͞must read" for what is happening in our world today. The author speaks of ͞only through an inner spiritual transformation do we gain the strength to fight vigorously the world in a humble loǀing spirit." He also speaks to why hating your enemies won't work. Hate multiplies hate - taking you to an eǀen darker place. Jesus says, ͞Loǀe your enemies." Hate corrodes your personality and love is the only force to transform an enemy into a friend. I also like how King addresses fear. He states that there is no fear in love. King also speaks to his journey of nonviolence in the civil rights movement. Dr. King led the movement of racial desegregation in the U.S. He received theNobel Peace Prize in 1964 and was assassinated on

Your child's name and the number of books read should be on the page. These pages will be displayed where Everyone can see and enjoy them! Once a page is filled, you will receive a new page. Parents, if you let me know when you are ready to bring in a completed page, I will mail you the next one. Thx!! When I work in the library, I watch an episode of Touched By An Angel.

am forever trying to be an optimist. I tend to be the doom and gloom, worse-case scenario person and I have been working so hard on changing my ways. I mean, at 35 it is hard. HARD. I am trying though.That counts, right?!?
A few years ago, I started reading a variety of personal development books. One of the first books I picked up had a lasting impact on me. It focused on gratitude. Gratitude defined is the quality or feeling of being grateful or thankful. Now, this idea of gratitude can seem like it is no big deal and we do it all the time, but putting it into daily practice and being intentional about it can truly change your life. As we move into this brand new year, we have the opportunity, like we do with each new day, to set out with great intentions and goals. good things. I have made it a daily practice to practice gratitude, and it has taken effort. For me, I am a doer, shocking, I know. I need to do something to make it seem like it is working. Every day, for the last four years, I write down 5 things I am thankful for. Every single day. If I miss a day, I go back and write it down. each other, a newborn goat has a watery eye and I can't seem to find my favorite coffee mug. Other days, I wake up before my alarm feeling refreshed, there are no problems in the barn, I have a great run, my children are skipping down the road and I have time to read a book just for fun. Those days are few, far and in between. Today, I challenge you to start this practice. If finding 5 things seems too much to start with, just do 1. In each day, whether you do it first thing in the morning, or right before you go to sleep at night, write down what you are thankful/grateful for. Remember that it can be anything, not matter how big or small. My hope for you this year is to find joy in every day, no matter the size. ~EllyThings I am
