All the Books I read in October 2023
I have a bad habit of reading multiple books within the same time. I think I need to finish reading a book first before I start another. On top of that I have been going to the gym more often to try and lose some weight. I feel like the weight should be melting off with with all the excercise I do. I swim four times a week (20-60 minutes depending on my energy for the day), walk to work every day (20 minutes). On top of that I am dabbling in lots of excericse classes and trying new gym equipment and classes. It’s so amazing how the style of yoga classes are so different depending on who your tutor is.

With the cascading pine trees reaching toward the heavens at heights that terrified Anabel, the idea of darkness quickly descending kind of tugged at her with a gnawing degree of concern. She wasn’t used to this - not in the least. Anabel had been raised in the Midwest among the plains and in a place, she had to get away from as soon as life would allow it. It so happened, that came with the crisp envelope that held her acceptance letter to the University of Oregon. It was the moment Ana had been waiting for since girlhood, and much to her parents’ dismay there was nothing that would hold her back. Ana instinctively tightened her fingers on the steering wheel glancing at the car gauges and immediately groaned upon noting the external temperature outside was a brisk -3 degrees.

Price introduced the concept of a "delights practice," inspired by Ross Gay's "The Book of Delights," which encourages us to actively seek out and appreciate the small moments of joy that often go unnoticed. By adopting this practice, we can enhance our overall sense of happiness and fulfillment.
