Chapters 13-15

I am glad to see that Anne gets a weight lifted off her shoulders in this week's reading. She has been bundling it inside all this time and she seems like she can now be herself around her family and close friends. Also in this reading, they talk a bit about the religion reformation that will take place later in the future.(Page 206)

The Thrill of Alba

I  wonder why the thrill keeps me coming back
It excites me to see more each day.
It is has been a habit until I realize what lies beneath the Alba.
Each sunrise is a mystery that I am in search of discovering.
As the days turn into months and months into years, my love has grown for the Alba of each day.
It gives me a sense of relief and anxiety at the same time.
What is next for my journey of discovering the Alba.
Until then I will appreciate each chance I get to spend my mornings with Alba.
