I could put some more passion into my day, that's for sure. I've got reading and reviewing and movies and music and writing down. How about getting back into my other hobbies, such as drawing (which I am very bad at, but try anyway) and I could try to keep a house plant alive (it would be a first) and get back into some more active pursuits, too, like swimming and hiking. <br /><br />And I know what you mean about blogs that are dangerous to read because you add so many books from them.

My hi...I'm so glad that you enjoyed the book, too! My highlighter was active, as well. Great quotes and book titles that I highlighted for further reference. <br /><br />I like the topics you've chosen for focus. Reading about gardening is entertaining for me in general, and I'm always checking out something...like why my SIL's gardenias have some yellow leaves (they need iron!). Also love books about journaling, even though I never apply what I read to my own journals. Love Natalie Goldberg's <I>Writing Down the Bones</I> and Anne Lamott's <I>Bird by Bird</I>.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22500980.post-16707126358100109012009-06-01T21:47:22.048-06:002009-06-01T21:47:22.048-06:00What an interesting blog you have!
