I believe we should allow ourselves the freedom to be surprised and amazed by whatever beauty, irony, tragedy, or humor each new day brings.

We should allow our senses to experience these things with a childlike wonder and curiosity, and we should let the daily newness profoundly and constantly change us.

Be sure to check out ErthDrift’s Matador profile.

Favorite books: Anything by Bill Bryson, My Antonia by Willa Cather.

    Hey Stephanie. I usually scan through Matador member profiles especially if they’ve filled in their favorite books, and I spotlight them.

    If you already have a Matador account, you can send the link to lola [AT] matadornetwork [DOT] com.
    Cheers

    Another Bill Bryson fan. He’s such an amazing writer, I always learn so much with his books. Excellent choices. :)

    Gotta love Bryson! Note: In a Sunburned Country is called Down Under in these parts.
