…to live in absolute freedom is neither possible nor desirable. Without rules based on past experience it is easy to make costly mistakes; without a sense of ultimate purpose it is difficult to sustain courage when the unavoidable tragedies of life strike.

Currently reading: The Evolving Self by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi πŸ“š

An easy fantasy read with medieval-ish spycraft and political intrigue. Plot was strained and it dragged a bit; cut by 100 pages and it would be a better book. I liked the characters but probably won’t read the rest in this series.

Finished reading: Luck in the Shadows by Lynn Flewelling πŸ“š

Finished reading: Ravenwood by Nathan Lowell πŸ“š

Enjoyed this one. A middle-aged woman protagonist, cozy feel, herbs and nature, and some good old-fashioned arse-kicking of villainous bullies.

A heart-wrenching read, especially in these days.

November is over, finally anniemueller.com/posts/nov…

πŸ₯Ύhiking church today was especially lovely with the snow. A dirt trail through the woods with a light layer of snow on the ground and snow on the tree branches

Snow covered trees against a light blue and white sky with sun shining overhead

The branches of a pine tree heavy with a coating of snow against a backdrop of snowy woods

A path through a snow-covered field leads to a treeline at the end of the path.

A rocky uphill path with a light layer of snow and trees on either side. Some of the trees still have light green leaves with snow on their branches

Several hundred things at a time anniemueller.com/posts/sev…

Braved the pre-Thanksgiving crowds at Costco to pick up mac and cheese, pie, dip and chips, and wine. I have made a lot of wrong moves in life but somehow I’ve worked out the holiday food gig pretty well. I’ll show up with these Costco things, hug everyone, and feast.
