The Awakening by Kate Chopin is one of the few books I've actually read cover to cover in my adult life. In 1899, it was shocking. Today, I think it would be considered normal. I'm going to read it again. The ending never fails to bring me to tears. I'm going through somewhat of the same thing as Mrs. Edna Pontellier. I'm not sure I'll mimic her actions, though. Have I sparked your interest??? Don't worry, it's a quick and easy read.
On a different note: Jewel Osco has reusable grocery bags for $1.00 now! I got five- they are quite big and I'm feeling very proud of myself for making such an effort. With the insulated bag from Whole Foods and now these five canvas Jewel bags, think of all the plastic I'll save!
Tonight I'm grateful for: Kate Chopin, who helps me justify my thoughts without intending to do so
