1. My own bed. Spain was great but the hotel beds seemed converted doors wrapped in paper with paper thin pillows to boot. Though I miss strolling the narrow winding streets of Cordova it was absolutely beautiful to fall into my warm comfortable bed after a week away. 2. Books. I'm plugging along on my 100 book challenge. I've hit 53, more than halfway! My favorite books recently: Non-fiction: The Garden of Truth, and Ornament of the World. Fiction: I'm So Happy For You and Confetti Girl. Books to add to the list? Por Favor? 3. Hope. Its humanity's life blood. Hope must always be stronger than fear.
