On impulse, I wanted to write “Living Life in Chapter” on the title line. It means the same thing to me. The idea that we do everything in one sweep has been a notion with busy people. For many years I was in that path until I got burnt out. Really bad.
It's been a go, go, go once we feel better. Never stopping to breathe normal. Well, until the body caves in once again.
While healing, I’d like to be able to savour time, and each chapter of the book I’m reading away from all these deadlines, most of them imposed. Capture that breathing space and keep up with breathing.
Some of us have been running nonstop. Guilty? I sure am. Then we get burnt out. Ulcers. Migraines. Stresses. Others with worse illness. And so forth. I just got a call from a friend, and another one an email. Two in a row, one re-trenched, the other ill. I'm trying... positive thinking. However, on top all this, I thank God for all blessings, trying to make the most of what the day offers.
I'd like to share an inspirational quote on being content and living the moment from German novelist Thomas Mann: "Hold every moment sacred. Give each clarity and meaning, each the weight of thine awareness, each its true and due fulfillment." - Thomas Mann, German Novelist
I'm trying to stay cool. When we start devoting more undivided attention to what is the moment’s, we relish that moment. We live that moment.
Sure, some pursuits need to be taken up early from a biological clock, but this is not all, is it?
Earlier, I've just deleted two blog sites I've decided I no longer have the time to fiddle with. Right now? I’m about to have a cup of good coffee, while trying to decide what chapter I’m in. Whether it’s chapter 10 or 11, I’d like to give myself to it, enjoy the rest of the afternoon and take it easy. In about four hours from now, I should come out re-energized. Hopefully.
And you, dear friend?

A researcher-friend set out to try to discover what is it that enables some people to live to a great age. Did they enjoy their work? A happy childhood? Enough rest? Good food? Meat eaters or vegetarians? And the result of the researcher’s analysis? He found out that despite varying lifestyles, the old folks had one thing in common: they all learned the art of being content.
