Here's something in a book that jumped out at me when I was reading the other day --
“The whole problem with people is –“
“They don’t know what matters and what doesn’t,” I said, filling in her sentence and feeling proud of myself for doing so.
“I was gonna say, The problem is that they KNOW what matters but they don’t CHOOSE it. You know how hard that is, Lily? …The hardest thing on earth is choosing what matters.”
Sue Monk Kidd
The Secret Life of Bees
If you haven't read it, a very nice read.
Today, I read "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" by Mitch Albom. A Wonderful little novel that you can read in one day if you ignore everything else you're supposed to be doing, two days if you're a responsible person. I rarely recommend novels, and I don't think I've ever recommended one here, but I think I'm going to buy about 6 copies of this book and send it to some dear family & friends. It's that good.
(I'm sure you won't be surprised, but you can get it at Costco for a discount, if you're a member.)
Ok, that's it for this week's wrap up. I'm off to try to do what matters this week.
