You are the flip to my flop

Losing myself in a book
Is reading a form of Zen? Do you find yourself getting caught up in what you are reading, so much so that you have to stop for a moment to remember that it isn't real? I do all the time & I love the sense of escapism that a book can give me. Once when …

3 times less beautiful?
Is beauty in the eye of the beholder? I suppose, if I am honest, that I am 3 times less beautiful than I was yesterday. What has changed since yesterday? I have had three very prominent beauty spots (moles) removed from my face, which since I am being honest, still has more than its fair …
