Thank you @lil1inblue for the corner bookmark 🔖 I can‘t wait to try that apple ginger fizz mocktail!!!

I started several Vonnegut novels and couldn‘t get thru them. A little too dark for me. So I settled on this compilation of his speeches. Kurt was very quotable and had many powerful messages to impart. I applaud him for his empathy, his courage to speak the truth & for being such a survivor. After listening to the wonderfully detailed biographical intro included with this audiobook, I may need to read one of his bios.

#Falling Day 7: #Boots

Listened to this on my flight to Prague. I just think John Green is the most pleasant and kind person. 4.25/5
I really loved the idea of this book. Each chapter is a subject or item he "reviews" gives a story, tells the origin or facts about and then rates. I don't think I have ever seen this done before, and it is John so things are lyrical and filled with anxiety and a wish for a better world.
4.5/5

After reading four essays, I decided to bail... Usually, I like reading essays, seeing other people's point of view, but here it seems I can't connect: lack of definitions, issues with how the ideas flow, sometimes caricatural depiction lacking nuances. But most importantly, no “haha, that's an interesting point“ moment.

When you repurpose a bookcase for the puzzle collection but you already needed another bookcase, and you just made space around the books for your yoga practice on a blanket tonight 😝

While out with friends this afternoon, I was reminded of the year my kids and I hiked the same hike each week for 52 weeks, and when I got home, I read through the posts I'd published about them on my blog. This post from Week 40 reminded me of what was going on in the world in 2016, and helped explain why I felt so connected to the tagged while reading it this week: http://imperfecthappiness.org/2016/07/09/weekly-walk-40/
