RE: Yet Another Attempt At Perspective

in #steemit6 years ago

@gillianpearce I love that book! I read it sometime ago, and have since read "The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed out The Window and Disappeared" by Jonas Jonasson and it reminded me a bit of "The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry" :) It's nice to get my nose back in a book for a change. I actually have an e-reader and love it; I have a library at my fingertips! I also use a website called "Book Bud" where I get daily emails of books that are free or next to nothing; because I am a very fast reader, I hate spending piles of money on a book :) You should check them out, it's pretty awesome!

Hope you had fun with the grandkids! After I look at Asher's Sunday post, I've been taking the rest of Sunday and part of Monday without even looking at steemit. It's been nice actually 😂

Much love back ❤️

Thanks for the book tip @lynncoyle1. I have made a note of it.

"Book Bud" sounds good but I don't have an e-reader so not sure I'd have much use for it.

I buy my books from a charity shop that sells them for 30p and then when I've finished them I take them to a different charity shop that sells them for a couple of pounds, so almost 7 times as much.

This makes me feel I'm doing good business for the charities.

Glad you're enjoying your time off from Steemit. I find it hard not to post if I'm at home. When I'm away it's a different story.

I'm really missing being around people since I got back from the retreat. The first week was OK because I had a couple of things in the diary and a fellow Steemian came to visit at short notice which was a lovely surprise.

This week I have more time alone and I'm finding that harder after such a wonderful time away.

The malaise that @glenalbrethsen referred to seems to still be around but hey ho it will pass of course.

Lots of love to you. I wish you were closer. It would be great to hang out with a glass of wine and watch the world go by! ❤️

That "malaise" is a perfect word for it; @glenalbrethsen hit the nail on the head. It is still hanging around for me as well.

Awww I wish you were closer too! What a wonderful time we could have I think. And I can promise it would be more than one glass haha ❤️
