Cold Tangerines 24/7
I read a book last Christmas called “Cold Tangerines,” and all year long I have been pondering its premise. It’s not a new topic or a “deep” topic but rather an over looked or easily ignored topic.
The idea of the book is incredibly simple, enjoy life. Big or small, planned, or spontaneous, each moment contains a great deal of value and beauty, but all to often we get caught up in waiting for life to begin and fail to “celebrate the extraordinary nature of everyday life.”
Shauna Niequist is the author and in my opinion has done a beautiful job of pointing out how the most pedestrian of experiences can encompass such inexplicable brilliance.
It is my desire to use this blog to do the same thing. I want to recognize “the extraordinary nature of everyday life” 24/7. I want to be the type of person that not only recognizes the glass as half full, but also appreciates the thirst quenching ability that its content possesses.
That’s what 24/7 Life is all about. I hope you enjoy hearing about my experiences and are prompted to be consciously aware of the extraordinary nature of your own.
Here’s to truly living life 24/7. Cheers!

24/7 Life
Well, It’s time for An Anthology of Thoughts to come to an end. Over the last year I have had a lot of fun with this blog, but the last few months I have been wanting to take my blogging in a different direction; thus the lack of posting on this blog.
My new blog is titled “24/7 Life” and is really being birthed out of inspiration I found while reading the book “Cold Tangerines,” last Christmas. This book was written by a woman named Shauna Niequist and is based on the idea of recognizing the blessings in everyday life.
I know, it sounds super simple and it is. But as simple as that sounds all too often we find ourselves taking everyday blessings for granted.
I know I do.
For that reason, I am starting 24/7 Life. This blog will be my attempt to recognize and appreciate the little things in life. Hopefully it will also bring awareness to the people that read it, in terms of appreciating the little things in their own lives.
So, I wish you a Merry Christmas from An Anthology of Thoughts and I hope to see you over at 24/7 Life.
Thanks for reading…
