Part 1: Putting Your Life in Perspective
Feel free to place you thoughts here about Part 1: Putting Your Life in Perspective 1 Champagne Suffering 2 Make Inner Peace Your First Priority 3 Lighten Up
I am finding this book an easy ready; a good choice for our first read.
As I read, I find myself wanting to keep reading to read about the next point and yet I fee the need to put the book down so I can let the point from each chapter sink in.
I would agree with DiAnna, I ordered the book for my ipod and listen to chapters as I am in my car. It is a very easy "read" and I am enjoing it very much.
I related to part 1 in many ways. I remember when my children were small. I was a graduate student, sometimes carrying nine hours, I was a new teacher, working full-time and sponsor of several groups at my school. Finding balance was difficult. I was quoted in the World Herald as saying that my hobby was doing laundry. There was no down time back then. At times I did feel like I took on too much. But I always said, you can handle whatever you take on. You do it because it all has to be done. So it is. I like the idea of having a sense of humor about things, as the book describes. Wish I had had that advise back then. Now I do what I have to do to keep myself centered. But it is easier now that the kids are all gone and I have more choice in the matter.
