I'm SO Selma

"Happiness? Let me tell you the story of Selma..." and so begins this wonderful little book titled Selma, by Jutta Bauer. Selma is a contented mama sheep who spends her days eating grass, playing with her children, exercising in the afternoon, chatting with her neighbor in the evening and then falls fast asleep. When asked what she would do if she had more time or more money she responds with her perfect day... she'd eat some grass, play with her children, exercise in the afternoon, chat with her neighbor in the evening, and then fall fast asleep. I LOVE this book. When I first read it, I thought - that's me! Especially if you've ever been through difficult times, you know how precious "normal" days are. Family vacations, holidays, birthdays and anniversaries.... those are all wonderful, special times. But, the best times for me are our regular days, at home. Hot tea, blogs and e-mail in the morning, school with the kids until lunchtime, projects or a picnic in the afternoon, my husband coming home in the evening and my whole family safely nestled in their beds at night. For me, nothing is better than that. I'm SO Selma.

Oh Cami, this looks like a wonderful book and couldn't have come at a more perfect time: on my list of things to do today is to find a great kids' book for two special little girls. You just made my day. I'll be getting one for myself, too! :)
