How I did it
It made me
hopeful ! 
How I did it: Check it out: In2Books.comThat is what I did. I was so happy to write the second letter - the one about the book we read - that I felt I had done something good for me. Now, for my student penpal, I do hope it turns out to be something interesting as well.

“The way of discipline is the basic practice of interrupting thoughts and fantasies, the way you would do in meditation. Begin by making a decision that when the fantasies arise, you’ll interrupt them. You may have to do that again and again—perhaps every morning when you wake up. Remind yourself that you don’t want to go down the road of fantasy. Explain to yourself that they distract you and ultimately cause suffering. Then, each time one comes up, imagine yourself offering it to a fire in your heart. Just keep offering your thoughts to the internal fire again and again. This is an essential meditative discipline that helps break any kind of cognitive pattern.”
