to do those things that have meaning for me, without worrying
who will approve or agree with me.
Likewise ... I used to be such a people-pleaser! What a relief
not to feel the need to ask permission ...
I bought The DaVinci Code and sat curled up on the couch and could
not put the book down. I read late into the night and early the next morning
until I finished it. It was pure joy. I did the same thing with another book last year,
and will do it again this year. My gift to me, to read a book for the pure enjoyment
of reading; it is a ritual I have created that I look forward to every year.
When housesitting a couple years ago I saw THE DAVINCI CODE on a shelf and
had an experience similar to yours: I stayed with that book almost literally till I had
completed it (about two days). My ritual is the same as yours, but I have to shut down the PC!
Thanks, Randy!
