So, I am totally in a rut. Reading way too late, finally drifting off to bed at ridiculously late hours, dragging myself up, getting a few things done, getting off to work, making it through work in a bit of a delirious/giddy mode from lack of sleep, then going home and starting all over again. It varies slightly on days when I don't work. But, even though I am enjoying my books (immensely), it's not good for my overall sanity. So, I've just got to learn to say "no" to late-night reading (or watching TV, which was an earlier rut and returns now and again). It may seem weird, but my late-night reading actually feels like a result of the pressure I feel to get everything done at once, right away. You know, the rush of the world. I can't relax and enjoy a book for a week or two, I have to finish it tonight. Ah, patience, patience, my dear...
I am grateful for wonderful books that I look forward to reading, but I am also grateful that I have the choice to make them a part of my life in a good way, not one that finds me tired every day, i.e. I am grateful I have the ability to get out of a rut (with a little help/reminders from above).
