Poeppel knows how to write sweet, touching stories and this is no exception. Several people who are connected through a family, a neighborhood and a school all come together in unexpected ways and save each other. Because we are all walking each other home aren’t we? Loved this one.
2.5 stars. I loved the visuals of this and I loved the creativity. But there was no plot. And not really much character development either. Reasonably good representation but in the end I really needed more of a story and more about the characters.

21 hours and counting. Still no power. So we are camping at a cafe, charging our devices, enjoying the internet and the freedom to flush the toilet. There is still no eta so let’s see how long this adventure continues. #open #olw #stayingopen

Power outage tonight. Haven’t had one of these in a long while. Seven hours and counting. They said we likely won’t get it back overnight. Fun times. #open #olw #stayingopen

When I first started this puzzle, I almost gave up. It has no edges and no corners and it was mostly blue so all the typical methods I’d used to start a puzzle were not available. But I was listening to a good book and had nothing to lose so I kept at it. I found a few small patterns that looked like they went together and slowly, slowly started to form some sort of a shape I made several wrong assumptions along the way and had to turn things right to left or upside down. But I got there in the end. It was a good reminder that just because I don’t know how to start doesn’t mean I can’t keep at it and that I can still find my way through and finish. #open #olw #stayingopen

I love the long weekends so much. Getting two full days without the sunday-syndrome is magical. Grateful for the relaxed calm and spaciousness it offers. I wish we had them more frequently. #open #olw #stayingopen

About two months ago I quit caffeine. I was having trouble sleeping through the night uninterrupted and I’d already tried everything I could think of, so as a last resort I quit caffeine. I didn’t get any of the excruciating headaches that I was expecting. I still drink tea (herbal) and coffee (decaf) and coke zero (not caffeinated) so it doesn’t seem to have made a huge difference on the surface. But I am mostly able to sleep through the night uninterrupted now. I still miss my tea most of all. And being able to get soda when I am out and about but it’s been absolutely worth it. Now if only I could walk away from sugar the same way. #open #olw #stayingopen
This came with such high ratings that i think it might have affected my expectations. It was a good story, and I liked that it was a second chance story (I haven’t read many of those.) I liked that it covered complicated, real topics as loss and depression and the impact that can have on a marriage and the ways in which we deal with such large life events. I think if romance is your genre and you’re married, you’ll like this one.

Still at it, I am obsessed. Not sure what’s going on. Grateful to have something that’s really making me happy right now. #open #olw #stayingopen

One of my favorite people at work is so wildly different than I am. In ways that would seem to be incompatible and yet I love working with her. I think the dynamic between working for, managing, and working alongside matters a lot for what I think is ideal from my peers. And I think that I would always choose someone kind over any other attribute. Give me kind, give me hardworking and give me collaborative. Smart is overrated and without the other three, it is not good enough. But as long as they are the three I love working with people different than I am and learning and being open to other ways of leading. So grateful to get to learn from people I admire. #open #olw #stayingopen

We dressed up and went out tonight. A lovely dinner together. It was sweet and delicious. And also, I don’t fit into any of my clothes anymore. And also my feet hurt from the heels. And also we made the reservation just yesterday cause we were so disorganized. But we still showed up. This is the only moment I have. I can spend it anxious or bitter or sad about what I don’t have. Or I can be here and find joy in what I do have. I’m choosing to do the latter. #open #olw #stayingopen |
