I donated a lot of books to Good Will, the library, and an assisted living home near us when we moved last year.<br /><br />After a year in our new house, I'm wishing I'd been more hard-hearted in my purging, but find that I wish I'd kept a few things as well!<br /><br />I'm sympathizing with your decisions!jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-24573212251043212842011-01-17T20:25:20.466-06:002011-01-17T20:25:20.466-06:00I've been doing a lot of de-cluttering too, al...I've been doing a lot of de-cluttering too, although for a different reason. I can't believe all the junk I've accumulated over the last ten years. Okay, so I can. It's embarrassing really.<br /><br />I keep seeing Three Seconds everywhere. I look forward to reading your thoughts on it when you get to it, Jenclair.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-66968608234703539582011-01-17T18:47:27.168-06:002011-01-17T18:47:27.168-06:00Iliana -- My new copy has arrived and my highlight...Iliana -- My new copy has arrived and my highlighter is ready, but I have several books in progress at the moment. Don't know how long I can hold out, though.<br /><br />I'm back to doing my morning sadhana every morning, and I just got back from a class. Feels great! Glad you were able to work in two classes this weekend!jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-25105266367855561532011-01-17T18:24:09.456-06:002011-01-17T18:24:09.456-06:00Oh that's terrible that you aren't getting...Oh that's terrible that you aren't getting your copy back especially as you had marked it up. Ok, that's one new year's resolution for you - no more lending books :)<br /><br />I still haven't read any yoga books but my plan is to at least read one this year! I did two yoga classes this weekend and they were so lovely.Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026669671843769219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-57623899964266362832011-01-17T10:03:34.518-06:002011-01-17T10:03:34.518-06:00Sam - It is so hard to want to share what has been...<b>Sam</b> - It is so hard to want to share what has been important and balance the human factor that means you may not get it back. I gave him another book that I'd ordered extra copies of to give as gifts, but he wanted to read that The Vigorous Mind as well. I'll be more careful in the future! <br /><br />And yes, I love the New Year concept. We can begin again at any time, but there is something about beginning with a new year.<br /><br /><b>Christina</b> - It is frustrating! It isn't just the price of purchasing a new copy, it is the connection with the original and the disappointment.<br /><br /><b>Nicole</b> - Yes, I'm looking forward to seeing how much resonates in the same way and what new catches my attention.<br /><br />I'm eager to try this team and hope the violence won't be too much for me--it all depends on how it is presented. I find writing teams interesting and spend some time wondering which partner is responsible for which sections. <br /><br /><b>Dorothy</b> - It may eventually return, but I'm no longer (after more than a year) expecting it. Thanks for the good wishes about 2011 reading!jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-3853888365320312032011-01-16T18:40:12.262-06:002011-01-16T18:40:12.262-06:00How frustrating that you aren't getting that b...How frustrating that you aren't getting that book back!

Isn't it great to get a fresh start every twelve months?<br /><br />Your experience with "The Vigorous Mind" is a reminder to me never to loan a book out that I want to ever see again. I've stopped loaning books...I give many away and protect my "keepers."Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.com
