Since when did i become too busy to read books? Sadly, I think it’s been a whole year since I finished one. Reading on the subway doesn’t count because I can never really pay full attention, and reading while I’m lying in bed means that I get through 5 sentences. This summer I want to read 5 good books. Any suggestions? I think I’ll start with Jane Eyre (i never finished it).

Thoughts and actions can easily become the foreground of one’s daily activity. You can make yourself sick by dwelling in the past, or anticipating the future, when the PRESENT MOMENT is all you ever have to live for. When you are concious and aware, there is stillness present in you at all times. Mediation is a concentrated and purposeful way to experience this. It makes you feel good. No thoughts to cloud your mind and contourt your body.
I want to do this everyday.

I’m not getting any younger here on earth, so me thinks it’s time to grow up and quit some old habits, the worst of them being smoking. What can I do to stop myself from this awful habit?
