Missing Christopher

One of my favorite things about Christopher is his hugs and holding him on my lap. For many years when Roger would be out of town Christopher would sleep in bed with me and it is one of my sweetest memories. I still miss that special time. He used to sit on my lap in the recliner in my bedroom and I would read to him.  His hugs are the best! Toward the end of his mission I was missing him so much!

I've just remembered a dream I had about that time:

The family was on vacation somewhere similar to Jackson, WY. Christopher was young. He and I left the others and went looking for something to drink. We went into a building that seemed to be a warehouse that might be being used for performances. There were some people on a stage and a man who seemed to be their director. He said we'd have to wait till they were finished to get a drink, but Christopher could go on the stage with the others.

 Suddenly, as I was distracted by the man, the kids all disappeared. When I asked where they were, he wouldn't answer. I started demanding that he 'give me back my boy!' I threatened to kill him if he didn't give Christopher back, but he just smiled and stood there. I had some kind of weapon and began to attack him, when I woke up.

 The dream really upset me. I hadn't realized how much I really wanted Christopher to be back home.

Anyway, I was missing him a lot and we were at Grandpa Sharp's house and I convinced Terick to sit on my lap so I could pretend I was holding my son.

Twain Thomas

As a supervisor at the library it was my responsibility to enforce library policies and sometimes that was very challenging. Twain Thomas was a patron who had repeatedly refused to obey the policies and procedures for using the Internet computers and had finally been banned from using them forever. After a year or so he came in and tried to use them again. I was afraid to talk to him because he had quite a temper, so I asked my supervisor to stand near by while I talked with him. He did get upset, but ultimately left and we breathed and big sigh of relief. Not too long after that the following appeared on the news and we were even more grateful that he had left the library with just some arguing and grumbling. He could have attacked me.

Quite a surprise!

In December of 2013 my former roommate, Irene, published a book.  I had not heard from her for several years, but we found each other on Facebook and she told me she was an author. I found her book on amazon.com and ordered it for the library. She had become a life coach and the book deals with some of her views and thoughts. Imagine my surprise when I found I was the subject of the first paragraph of the book!!!!! I do want to say I believe I was saying that bit each morning as a class assignment. The lady in the photo is Irene. Have you experienced times in your life when you did not know how to move forward? When life gave you lemons and they just refused to turn into lemonade? Here is a book just for you! It is full of examples and experiences from the author's own life, as well as priceless pieces of advice and new insights into how to move forward with wisdom and accountability, risk and joy. A thoroughly enjoyable and easy-to-read book for the modern-day busy professional ...

Somehow people think that librarians read for work. They say things like, "I wish I had a job where I could just read." I would answer, "So do I." Of course, it was expected that as employees we would readers and be ready to refer people to titles.
