It's a cool Monday morning here. I put on my running clothes, opened the door ready to go charging out, then felt the brace of cold air and closed the door again and decided to go later. I'm such a wimp about cold air. All those years in Southern California spoiled me.

How are you doing? Getting near the end of your workday aren't you?

 

[warmlips]

workday? what's that?! more like "relaxing, playing dominoes and reading day"! I don't work I enjoy!
I am only just walking without crutches, work comes later, and I will never have a normal workday anyhow, the kind of things I do aren't 9 to 5!

[warmlips]

California, mmm I want to go there...
Where do you live now? And why did you move to somewhere colder....?? I am definitely going to live somewhere hotter next! Like Austrailia....

Reading day! How wonderful. I love reading and haven't had much time for it lately. I've got three or four books that are in partial progress.

We're on the Aussie thread....but neither of us are Australian. I'm from Washington DC now, though I hang out with the Aussies quite a bit...a home away from home if you will.

I still haven't figured out why I left California. It was a job change. I lived 50' from the beach. I'd sleep at night with the sounds of the waves in the background. Sunsets over the water were always nice too.

Wow...
That is my dream which shall be realised, living by the sea...mmmm I love swimming more than anything apart from making love and talking.
you must miss it.

I am reading about 5 books at the moment, everything is so interesting...lol

Fiction, non-fiction, history, art, music? What topics?

I have been reading actually, but it's been all work related for the last two weeks. It's not so interesting, but has to be done. I like reading all sorts of things... fiction, history, art, non-fiction. I've just finished reading a several fiction books that were set in 1937 Ethiopia and were written by an Englishman named Bartle Bull.

guys, going to book for 11am on Sunday (that's this sun coming)

standby for more details tomorrow night...

 

[warmlips]

ok... you ready for this?

I am reading:
A Return To Love by Marianne Williamson, it's a lovely self improvement kind of book which just says that love is the most important thing, it is based on the teachings of A Course In Miracles. I am enjoying it, but still feel a greater affinity with Buddhist thought, rather than Western (despite being English!). I think it is a brilliant book for others though, especially those who feel their life could have more meaning.

Due to my interest in the East, I am reading also:
Watching The Tree by Adeline Yen Mah (who wrote Falling Leaves, which is famous) It is wonderfully uplifting and interesting, about Chinese traditions and history - eastern philosophy and wisdom. It is very well written, I thoroughly reccommend it if you want to know more about eastern religions, it's fascinating and personal too, she talks about the conversations she had with her grandfather.

Number three is:
Awaken The Giant Within by Anthony Robbins
What a guy! The most successful man in the field of motivation, and he is really young! I think he was only about 30 something when he wrote that book. He is so passionate, I have one of his cassettes too, I love hearing him speak, he has a childlike enthusiasm for life and you can't help but feel great whenever you read what he writes! It's well founded information, too, he had read 700 books in the area of human excellence or pyschology when he wrote the book, he is an interesting person.

The fourth book is a novel! in Italian:
Se una viaggiatore una notte d'inverno by Italo Calvino.
It's got an interesting style; Calvino always explores writing in a new way, but challenging, I haven't got my large dictionary here, so can't always find out what a word means, but guessing is usually fine!

The other book I am reading is The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying by Sogyal Rinpoche. I have already read it, now I am refering to it frequently.
I think it's the best ever book about Tibetan Buddhism for Western readers, as long as you already know a bit about Buddhism. It has superb meditations for helping the dying and the dead, and also the LIVING! And the author is so lovely, I feel a great connection with him, I would love to meet him one day.

So that's what I am reading at the moment....

You cover a lot of subjects in your reading. The books look very interesting. I've been reading about adventures in Africa. Last month I read a bunch about Marius, Sulla and Caesar and the rest of Ancient Rome (in prep for a trip there). A few years ago I spent a lot of time reading about eastern religions, but it was more textbook reading than novels. I haven't read much about eastern religions since then though. I've recently read "The Puzzle Palace" which is a non-fiction about the establishment of the National Security Agency (NSA) in the US. I've bought two books on Mozart's life, but I haven't opened them yet. I also have one on Napoleon on my shelf, but haven't opened that one either. I just have to find more time.

 

[warmlips]

CREATE more time to read!
Get up earlier or stay up later, it's worth it!

I am going out now, lovely talking to you, take care,
