#LitsyLoveReadathon continues...
I have moved on to A Pattern Language for a bit. Celebrating 5 years of #LitsyLove (although my involvement does not go back that far) is such a good excuse to break out one of the books I've been meaning to tackle more thoroughly.

So it's been 5 years of #LitsyLove (although not that long for me) and I'm celebrating this weekend with the #LitsyLoveReadathon and setting my own goals, albeit small ones. Goals in comments ⤵️

Trying to pick out my main books (although I have dozens more screaming 'pick me!') for the #24in48readathon - have a feeling I will read a lot and finish none. 😅 Bring it on! #24in48 #ADDtakesover #booksbooksbooks
🤣🤣🤣 Could not be more true. Was laying on the couch trying to decide what unread book to grab off my shelf, right next to the box of recently purchased books that just arrived

pickI think this is a book loved by certain types of people. I am one of those people. It captures many of my favorite “things” (in a broad sense). These things include: consideration of how items are placed, curiosity about the underlying meaning of certain actions, organization, lists...and on and on. He even had printed in bold what was most important in each chapter. (Photo is in perfect pattern language)⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
When trees are planted or pruned without regard for the special places they can create, they are as good as dead for the people who need them. Trees have a deep and crucial meaning to human beings...They provide a sense of beauty and peace.
We came from water; our bodies are largely water; and water plays a fundamental role in our psychology. We need constant access to water, all around us...
The person who becomes whole states his own nature, visibly and outwardly, loud and clear for everyone to see.
THIS BOOK, recommended by Gretchen Rubin, is magnificent! I can‘t even explain it well but it is so fascinating; (I think) the idea is that there is a certain number (253) of specific patterns of the way things need to be arranged in order for humans to live healthily, physically and psychologically. I want to think its a joke but the authors are dead serious and their points make sense. Yes,
I am way off in nerd land where I am most happy
