Welcome to Litsy!

I wouldn't have picked this one up if it wasn't for @sebrittainclark 's #AuldLangSpine list but I'm glad I did! This was a really helpful and encouraging book on how to keep your home livable without stressing yourself out more. I don't have ADHD or depression, which is a big focus of the author's life, but anyone can relate to feeling overwhelmed by everyday tasks and she provides useful manageable tips

After having read this book, I think I‘d like to read the author‘s other books. The style of writing is beautiful. This book is about remembering to slow down, why we should do it, and that it‘s okay to do it. Shown: a stunning sunrise from this past Tuesday. I had no choice but to yield, and take in the beauty before hurrying in to this daily thing we call work. Hurry to work, when there‘s this to look at? Is that even a question?!

We are a forgetful species, obsessed with the endless succession of tasks that hover over our days, and negligent of the grand celestial drama unfolding around us. And here I am, remembering.

Shown: the pale blue dot (us!) visible under Saturn‘s rings. When looking at the cars and icy cascades of WA through the plane window, I thought, from up here, all the nonsense going on down there seems so petty! Why do we wrap ourselves up in wars, ⬇️

It‘s amazing the power of hearing that you‘re not alone in your sense of drowning. Life is still a struggle, but Davis‘ words have given me hope, courage, and even skills to help work my way through it. The practical advice provided is actual advice that can help with setting priorities, getting through life tasks that can be or seem overwhelming, and realizing/accepting that you are not a failure for not maintaining an Insta worthy environment.

Hope you are all well. ❤️

A late update to my #ReadingBracket2024
I only finished one nonfiction book in September. It was a quick yet encouraging listen
