Adult life has made me too busy for books!

Just today morning I was asking myself what would be my resolution for 2009? Losing weight, living healthy seems to be on everyone's list. I want to pickup something that will make me happy from within. I have always been a very content individual. But being a mom of 2 toddlers has definitely shifted my priorities. That’s when I came across Ramya’s Blog and her fantastic book reviews.

I realized that I have let go of something that had kept me stable during my teens and pre-marriage. Cozying up with a book and music was my haven but life became busy and reading became a luxury I could not juggle. Yann Martel’s lines have never rung so true – We are all busy. Meditating monks in their cell are busy. That is adult life.. But is a question of choice. And I choose to read a book every month at the very least in 2009.

There are so many fantastic books in my library that I have not read (Lord of the Rings, Ernest Hemingway, Tolstoy) I vow to pick one today..
