Eat Pray Love May 9, 2008

For the past few days, I’ve been listening to “Eat Pray Love”, read aloud by the author, Elizabeth Gilbert. I listen when I drive and when I go for walks with Kate.

I actually got it a couple of months ago but then I got sucked into listening to all the mp3s from the last WAPF conference and that took a long time to get through. I enjoyed every second.

And now I am enjoying every second of “Eat Pray Love”.

Here’s my question… can anyone out there recommend a really good book? Or two? Something along the lines of “Eat Pray Love”?

See, because “Eat Pray Love” is one of those books that when you start reading it, you try to go slow because you’re afraid it’s going to end. “Eat Pray Love” is delicious. It’s more than that, though. It reminds you how good it is to be alive, no matter how hard things are, no matter what you’re going through.

I’ve been going through some tough times lately. A couple of very challenging family emergencies. Probably the hardest time our family has every been through. No — not probably. Definitely the hardest time our family has ever been through.

I can’t say more than that. Suffice it to say, for weeks now, I’ve been waking up at 3 am, eyes wide open with worry.

I’ve been crying a lot, too. When I’m doing the dishes, in the shower. I have to process it. Repress it and it will just bite you in the ass later.

Anyway, let me know if you can recommend a good book. I’m going to need something when this one ends.
