When I am attacked by gloomy thoughts, nothing helps me so much as running to my books. They quickly absorb me and banish the clouds from my mind.

Simple 2012 Resolutions (One Bit at a Time)
Okay I said I was Not going to make New Year’s Resolutions… but as I am all woman, I reserve the right to change my mind (all genders can do this by the way).
So that said, I Resolve to re-read Thich Nhat Hahn’s “Being Peace” and read his book “Breathing Peace”.
Because I need to live and go with the Flow of the Universe even more (also called Synchronicity)… and to allow all my relationships and aspects of Life be more Peaceful and embrace a state of Inner Peace.
After these I will add as I like and am inspired to do in 2012.
A healthier Lifestyle over all is a long term Goal.
I believe in the magic of books. I believe that during certain periods in our lives we are drawn to particular books—whether it’s strolling down the aisles of a bookshop with no idea whatsoever of what it is that we want to read and suddenly finding the most perfect, most wonderfully suitable book staring us right in the face. Unblinking. Or a chance meeting with a stranger or friend who recommends a book we would never ordinarily reach for. Books have the ability to find their own way into our lives.

This actually brought tears to my eyes. This has to be one of the most beautiful things ever, and definitely The Most Beautiful thing I have come across in recent months hands down.
Book collecting is an obsession, an occupation, a disease, an addiction, a fascination, an absurdity, a fate. It is not a hobby. Those who do it must do it. Those who do not do it, think of it as a cousin of stamp collecting, a sister of the trophy cabinet, bastard of a sound bank account and a weak mind.
