I had been wanting to read this book again for several months. Thank you for the suggestion to re-read!

I love the Love Languages books and should dig out my copy of Calm My Anxious Heart. So glad to hear from another fellow introvert. It's so hard some days! We need to stick together to stay strong against the urge to curl up in the closet corner for a few days!

I really culled out a bookshelf by taking them all out and touching each book. I found I didn't have feelings for about half the books I had been holding on to! Great stuff!<br />Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03085814755648021148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3692156614069531903.post-52333928676946906632015-06-24T15:44:45.803-07:002015-06-24T15:44:45.803-07:00Oh!

This is such the nudge I need. I discove...Ah, Kari. This is such the nudge I need. I discovered a site that publishes what free Kindle books are out there. I've loaded up my Kindle for "summer reading," but discovered that much of it is self-published garbage rife with grammar and spelling errors, which drive me crazy. Also, most are not complete books, but "Part I" so supposedly you will want to buy the rest of the story. I'm too cheap, though. <br /><br />But I digress - I need to reread the Love Languages because my son is so different from me. I need to remind myself how to fill his cup. I need to reread Calm My Anxious Heart by Linda Dillow. The title says it all. I need to read this book on being a more Godly wife and woman. I can see the cover, but can't remember the title/author. Finally, I want to revisit some old posts of yours about being an introvert and wanting the boys to leave you alone, but that is not the season of your life right now. I remember as I read them I needed to journal on that thought, but didn't. I did better for a while but am back to pushing my two outside so I can have some "quiet time." Selfish and not the kind of mom I want to be. <br /><br />Thanks for the reminder.Christinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3692156614069531903.post-31999974647741147912015-06-24T04:45:03.816-07:002015-06-24T04:45:03.816-07:00Have you heard of "the life-changing magic of...Have you heard of "the life-changing magic of tidying up the Japanese art of decluttering and organizing" by marie kondo? I suspect this will be on my list in years to come. I am reading it now. It is about going through your whole house and keeping what is necessary and what brings you joy them getting rid of the rest. It sounds radical but when used, you: feel amazing, enjoy everything you see around you, have some space instead of seeing chaos. When looking in your closet, you love everything in it and feel so joyful to be able to pick out something to wear.

I did re-read it last year, and by the end I must have underlined at least half of the book. It is a great read!<br />Thanks for sharing your list, and most importantly your thought process. I too have a huge list of wants to be/do/read and really appreciate both reading this today. Both to learn I am not the only one, and to receive a wise nudge!<br />Enjoy your summer reading!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
