I really enjoyed reading this book.while I don‘t think I could live a full zen life I know I incorporate a few ideas. My love of nature and need to be in natural areas for one.

My not so calm and collected reading buddy. He is tired. And when he is tired his demons take the wheel and he likes to play “scratch and bite”. He really is like an over tired toddler who should have taken a nap half an hour ago.

#5JoysFriday

1) Daffodils, sunshine & fresh air
2) Seeing the most spectacular double rainbow of my life. I wish my pic was better.
3) The distraction of #LitsyTOB
4) Mammogram done, last Pap Smear of my life done! Measles antibody test done. All good news!
5) Pippin. Thankfull for goofy puppy play & evening snuggles.

Folks, I am TIRED! For whatever reason, exacerbated by lack of sleep, I‘m feeling the weight of it all today. Your joys help! 🩵

Lesliereadsalot Your joys help too Deb! 2mo

Sarah!!! Just received your wonderful letter and package this week. OMG, I‘m speechless!!! 🤩🤩🤩😭😭😭😘😘😘 How you ever found time to make us this beautiful blanket with all that‘s on your plate. It‘s already keeping me cozy, warm and relaxed during reading time. (And as you can see, Frost thinks it‘s for him!)
We will treasure it always…and you! 🥰🥰🥰

Schnoebs I got my mom this book a hey years ago in hopes that she would get the hint to relax and enjoy her down time more. Shockingly, the book did not help 😂 2mo
TheAromaofBooks Also, I am very glad to see Frost enjoying this blanket. Our cat kept trying to sleep in the basket where I stored it while I was working on it 😂 2mo
MemoirsForMe @Schnoebs Maybe your mom would do better with the Calm app! Sending relaxing vibes to you both! 😁✌🏻 2mo
MemoirsForMe @TheAromaofBooks Frost is still fascinated by our beautiful blanket. Guess our cats love their yarn in all forms! 😂 2mo

Unfortunately I didn't get to finish The Wedding People before it was due back at the library. I think I'll try this one next. It's been on my TBR forever, and I'm trying to get back into meditation and mindfulness. Thich Nhat Hanh should be a good guide.

#nonfiction

Leftcoastzen He‘s wonderful! 3mo
TiredLibrarian @Leftcoastzen I have the tagged book, and I dip into it now and then. I love his insights. 3mo

No one talks Zen better than Alan Watts. I can‘t blame his son for cashing in on his father‘s legacy by publishing old audio lectures in book form. I kept this pocket gem in my work bag for the better part of last year. It kept me grounded and spiritually in a better place than I would have been otherwise.

catiewithac @JamieArc I just ordered it yesterday because I‘m barely coping. Also, I should mail your birthday gift this week! 🥳 3mo
JamieArc @catiewithac I had ordered it for you to send with your birthday package but it *just*came in. That‘s okay though - it‘s one I‘m interested in as well. I‘ve been reading feminist rage books to prepare. I hope you have some good things planned tomorrow to distract you or help you cope. Hugs to you, friend 🤗💙 3mo
catiewithac @JamieArc also *buddy read* 🤩 3mo

Book isn‘t yet in our system: The Rain People by Jin Bo, Yi Yusun (illustrator)

“As a boy sits alone watching spring's first rainfall, he sees that the drops are turning into tiny people, who invite him to join them.”

Lovely book! I‘m not an art expert but I think the art is watercolor. The short of it is the boy joins the Rain People to enter the River of Sorrow and when they do life is restored to the land. This could be from Chinese folklore.
