SO -- today, Tuesday, June 28th, 2011 -- I have boxed up most of my stuff in my office and copies computer files of my work onto my portable hard drive. I continue to get ideas... reading, etc... and I have worked on a plan for upcoming weeks. I am still NOT sure about the immediate things to do upon leaving the office tomorrow and what the beginning of the day will be like on Thursday, June 30th. One thing to do will be to call my Mother as it is her birthday.
So -- additional readings that have come to mind in addition to those in the last post are:
Book of Joshuah since I have not read much in the books beyond the Torah.. and it does, does it not, tell the story of the new beginning in the new land, Israel, for us.
A couple of happiness books were suggested, specifically: The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin (which seems to have several incarnations) and The How of Happiness by by Sonja Lyubomirsky. Seemingly good suggestions.
Then there is a book I have on my shelf which was given to me a couple of years ago on my 60th birthday. It is: The year of living biblically : one man's humble quest to follow the Bible as literally as possible by A J Jacobs. THAT might be a good starting one!
At Bo Tree there is a 4pm class which I could try... might do that... Thursday!!!
AND so mind and body and soul with a good book and yoga... Although a good beginning mediation or prayer would be very good.
AH... the worry about this STARTING... is interesting for me... I usually have not paid such attention and yet -- being so mindful is something I say I find important. SO -- shall I walk this walk??? Stay tuned.
And another set/series of books - for the long term are books written by h. v. morton such as A traveller in Italy AND Splendour of scotland.
