Every so often, I’ll absolutely, positively overload life’s plate. My eyes will write checks my calendar can’t possibly cash. I’ll line up a billion and one things that I just can’t live without, then stand around wondering, “How did I ever think I could manage all that?”
Hmmm, there’s an unsettling similarity in my approach to budgeting, too…
My desk is covered, literally covered, with amazing books I’m reading. I’m honestly in the middle of 5 right now - a personal best. The two I just finished, How to Think Like a Millionaire and The Emotional Lives of Animals (Click the link to read my review of this beautiful book) were each great books. I’ve been on a real roll this year. One Can Make a Difference, Strength for Life, and Why the Wind Blows (review in the works) are just three that come to mind as being super special and life-changing.
I’m nearly halfway through another beautiful book titled, “The Hero With a Thousand Faces.” It’s by Joseph Campbell and I honestly get hand cramps from all the note taking. But I just stretchit out, pour more coffee, and get back to something I dearly love - getting lost in a great book with a great author.
People don’t read enough books lately, if you ask me. Sure, we read blogs, e-mails, and online articles - and, when we have time, we even read the newspaper. We should all (oh no I didn’t just include myself here) make a point of reading more books.
There’s just nothing quite like curling up with a cat, a cup of coffee, a homemade cookie, and a great book. Or five.
