Day 1710: And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini

“You say you felt a presence, but I only sensed an absence. A vague pain without a source. I was like a patient who cannot tell the doctor where it hurts, only that it does.” ― Khaled Hosseini, And the Mountains Echoed

 

It’s 12 :  07 PM on day 1710 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray,  read Hosea 9, publish my Disability of the Day feature, learn one new thing –Beetles first appeared about 270 million years ago, during the Permian period. Frogs and dinosaurs both appeared during the Triassic (about 245 million to 213 million years ago), and flowering plants didn’t crop up until about 130 million years ago, during the Cretaceous. –  feed myself a peanut butter and banana sandwich  for breakfast and promote my Educate Generations campaign– $2 919 raised so far (thanks guys 🙂 ).

 

Yesterday I finally finished reading And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini it’s a story about the love between two siblings separated during childhood and their journey back to each other I liked the book because I could relate to the love between Abdullah and Pari having siblings is like having parts of you living outside your body you want to protect, nurture and guide them knowing that if God forbid something were to happen to them you would be shattered.

Day 1352: The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini

“I opened my mouth, almost said something. Almost. The rest of my life might have turned out differently if I had. But I didn’t.” ― Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner

 

It’s 12  : 25 PM on day 1352 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to pray, brush my teeth, read Psalm 39,  publish my Disability of the Day feature, promote my Eradicate AIDS campaign –  on $802.85 –  feed myself  boiled egg with bread  for breakfast, practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles, stretch my hamstrings, spend time outside and continue promoting my campaign – still on $802.85 but I’m worried I know that God is working behind the scenes to make sure that the Eradicate AIDS goal is reached. 

 

Yesterday afternoon I finished reading The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini the book is about the friendship between Amir and Hassan that was torn apart by a heinous crime and Amir’s quest for redemption I think the book was so well received because we’ve all been Amir at one point in our lives sometimes we have opportunities to stand up for people and we choose to walk away.
