Thinking too much!

Okay, so this is my last week working in the Library. Next week I'll be home and starting Wednesday afternoon I'll be spending all my time with my sweet 11 year old Bryce. This will be his last track off before he is done with Elementary school and ready to start Middle School! Man...I cant believe how time has flown by! Anyway, on to the subject at hand..."Thinking too much"!

So, since it's been so slow at work I have been able to do some reading,and it has just been so enjoyable! (I never read!) My friend who works there with me is a high school english teacher and basically reads for a living,and she is always telling me about these great books she has read. So, I've had the opportunity a couple of times a day to just read and not think so much and oh how nice it has been....okay, so there are a couple of people (at least) who will probably be reading this and are shaking their heads up and down right now and saying "yes, Lisa you do need to stop thinking so much". I mean after working in the Library I am so excited to read some of the books that I have seen pass by me. So, one of the books I read was one that Bryce will read next year and both Michael and Stephen read in middle school and both loved, it's called "The Giver"...very interesting, I can see why the boys liked it so much. So, I decided that I am gonna read as many of the novels that my kids are reading in school.It'll be fun talking with them about it too. Speaking of reading...I just read a couple of blogs that really touched me. One was by a really close friend of mine and the other by a total stranger. They were both so different yet, both inspired me in the same way. The one was just happy, upbeat, positive, sickening sweet and she knew it and didn't care, it was great! I loved it! Then the other was just raw, honest blood sweat and tears kinda stuff and I loved it too! Both were "living in the moment".... I want to be like that and stop thinking soo much!! I mean I am 46 and it seems I started this "Thinking too much" thing when I was 40something and trying to make sense out of my life up to this point and I "think" (lol) I'm done....it's time to start LIVING and stop "THINKING TOO MUCH"!
