Books

I love to read. During the school year I rarely find time for it. I have sort of made of point to finding time here, however. I have enjoyed every minute of it. The first book I read was a simple distraction book; a follow up to a series I read in high school. For those of you who don't know, there is a fifth sisterhood of the traveling pants book. That book is not what this post is about. Instead it's about the book Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. I saw the movie. I liked the movie, but didn't love it. I read the book. I picked it because it was about a woman's journey traveling the world. I loved it. It was about so much more than that. Regardless of whether or not you are traveling, I highly recommend it. It was great to see the way this woman saw herself and the world. I read it on my iPad, something I would never do at home. However, it allowed me to easily underline quotes that stood out to me as I read. There were a lot. I suppose that if I were to sum up what I took from it briefly (and you will probably find you take away something completely different) it would be: Focus on what's around you right now. Be thankful for it and trust that everything will be the way that it's supposed to be. This is true, because you get to choose to be happy.

I'm currently reading Have a Little Faith by Mitch Albom. I'll tell you what I think when I'm done. It's another book that I am thoroughly enjoying.
