Need things in my life that are low-maintenance. I can't deal with much else at the moment. With what little time I have for myself, I'm reading a book on the effects of chronic stress on our bodies and health. So I'm trying to slow down (hard in a fast-paced city) and take time out to rest. My recent trip to California visiting family and friends made me realize how NOT relaxed I've been. When overwhelmed, I tend to withdraw so reading and watching things (Mad Men has been so good lately!!) are what I take comfort in. The books I've read recently:
- Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Coast Trail by Cheryl Strayed
- This Life Is in Your Hands by Melissa Coleman
- Wandering Home: A Long Walk Across America's Most Hopeful Landscape: Vermont's Champlain Valley and New York's Adirondacks by Bill McKibben
This is just what I've finished... forget about all the other books I'm trying to get through!
