It's another Monday and I have to get out of the house. If I don't leave than I will watch all of America's Next Top Model and whatever else is on. I will not be able to force myself not to get up off of the couch, "Just after one more episode." So, I am at the library. I am filling out three more papers for three more books that I have read through fast and really enjoyed. Anyone else out there read Beverly Lewis? I haven't only b/c of the covers looking like they are from the olden days, but I couldn't pass is up when I read the first book cover from Abram's Daughter. It's a series of three and once you read the first one, you just have to keep reading to find out what else the characters do/have done. It's just like the Pants book series/movie. Not the Ya Ya Sierthood, but the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants one that became a movie. I saw in my Entertainment Magazine that the other has just come out with another book abotu the character. She goes ten years in the future and you find out how the girls become women and what they do with their lives. (I have already put it on hold at the library). On another note, why have I not just gone to the library to get my books? I would have saved so much money?!?

Well, I finished a book called Breakfast with Buddha by Roland Merullo. It was an easy yet inciteful read about a man who has to go cross country when his father passes to sign paperwork on their families 200 acre land. His crazy as she seems sister sends her Guru/Buddhist man who wears the long robe and has only a small bag to work with. They have a time driving and you get to see what they see from the backseat of the car. The character is a writer/publisher for cookbooks so you also get to eat with them while he tries to share America with the Guru. As the main charater is showing America to him, the guru tries to give enlightment to the man. One thing that struck me just as another movie did, was Quiet Time with the Lord/Meditation. Really is sitting criss cross apple sauce and quieting yourself to the Lord. That is what I got out of it. Ever read Eat, Pray, Love? Or have you seen the wonderful movie that Julia Roberts is in? I have read and seen both and would like to fast forward some parts if I ever saw it again. In the movie if you have never heard about it, Julia Roberts goes from Italy eating, India praying, and then to Indonesia for Love. It is a true story of how the author found herself and also found love. She goes to Italy and it makes me remember the small passages and walkways of Antigua, Guatemala. But, she goes to Pray in India after a small affair with a guy takes her to his Guru. Then she ends up helping a Guru in Indonesia with something that he needs. I remember him asking Julia if she had been meditating of course she has found a man and has friends now, she has stopped doing her meditation. So, she sits there as she did in India and just sits. I don't know if I could just sit. Even now while typing this I am thinking of different things. What I need to clean at the house, what's for lunch, the books that I am handing in and which ones to read next. How I haven't sunk into my journaling in a while and haven't made time to be with Lord as I should have. Also, there is a young guy at the computer behind me that dropped soething with a thud. Was it on purpose? And so, can you see why it takes me a long time to go to bed at night? I took out my TV but I still have my phone to look at and bokos to read by my bedside. For the past two nights I haven't listened to my Calming Music that's on my IPOD. I have needed to recharge it so on the way out today I plugged it up to charge. I think that I listen to the women's voice and the music rather than really listening to what she has to say. B/c if I listened to what she had to say then I would be more realized. She starts from your head and goes down your back to your toes to help you become more relaxed. It worked in the begiinig and now I use it as a helper to get to sleep. Anyone with anxiety/panic attacks should have something like that to help them go to bed. Or I should say, this is a helpful tool in whcih for you to go to sleep if you have Panic Attacks. It seems as though I have typed enough on Julia Roberts, my book reading, panic attacks, and etc.
