Of course there must be lots of Magic in the world, but people don't know what it is like or how to make it. Perhaps the beginning is just to say nice things are going to happen until you make them happen.
Before Christmas, Mom bought me an early present for my trip up to Seattle. Of course it was a book. I had never read one of my Mother's and Grandmother's favorite books,
The Secret Garden. At first I wasn't very into the book but soon it spread its magic over me. I loved every minute of this book. What a sweet and enduring story! I want to share one of my favorite parts:
"...Thoughts- just mere thoughts- are as powerful as electric batteries-as good for one as sunlight is, or as bad for one as poison. To let a sad thought or a bad one get into your mind is as dangerous as letting a scarlet fever germ get into you body. If you let it stay there after it has got in, you may never get over it as long as you live."
Beautiful, eloquent, and inspiring. I understand why my grandmother and mother love it so much. I want to read it all over again and I just finished it.
P.S. After reading this book, I had the strange desire to go weed a garden.
