"Let the center be your home"/Shiny New Etiquette Badge

Holiday Grab Bag

Hi, there and did you see it? Uh, Uh? My Shiny, BRAND Spanking New, Hot Off the Press, Etiquette Badge that says I can have tea with the Queen!!! I got me some Manners, oh, Yessirreee I do!! I got proof, now, how about that? All because I put pen to paper and wrote a letter, (mailed it too!). I'm so excited and want to Thank Our Inimitable Dear Mrs.Spit for this unique honor. If you care to join us, please drop by her place, typically on a Wednesday. All are most graciously welcome. It will be most delightful, I assure you!


I have been "tagged" by Annie and it involves a book, a most favorite thing. So here goes-

* Grab the book closest to you. Now.
* Go to page 56.
* Find the 5th sentence.
* Write that sentence as your title.
* Copy these instructions.
* Tag 5 other friends to play.
* Don't go looking for your favorite book, or the coolest one you have - just grab the closest one.

The closest book is the one I just blogged about yesterday, "The Book of Secrets" by Deepak Chopra. The fifth sentence on page 56 in this book is "Let the center be your home". Pretty cool stuff, hey? No wonder the book takes so long to read, I have to meditate after every other page.

I invite my fellow readers to play along including:

Are you kidding me?
Silver G
Ashley
maniacal mommy
Renee

Disclaimer: All tags are optional. They can be a little bit too much like a chain letter for me to shackle my dear bloggers with that responsibility. However, this is a fun, easy tag.

Now that business is complete, I have reflected on the meaning of this 5th sentence, "Let the center be your home" and I would like to extend my heart (my center if you will) to the homes of Mr.&Mrs.Spit and Sara and her family today. Thank you.

I realized all the closest books are kids ones and they go to 14 pages...or so. I did find a book left in my home (not mine) Lucky, by Alice Sebold I broke down the sentence but here it is:Brace for what might be ahead.....=) sounds like fore-shadowing. oooooooh!

Agreed with your thoughts on tags being optional...and in that spirit: I tagged you!
