In my living room I have a bookshelf filled with books I got either after listening to Focus On The Family on my way to lunch back when I worked really close to home, or given to me as gifts by people in my life who are very close to me.
Here it is:
Here it is:
I have started reading some of them, stopped somewhere in the middle (or at the beginning) and they sit on this shelf waiting for me.
You know how it goes - life gets busy and somehow what you thought would be very beneficial to you to read and know is still out of reach.
Yes, it is in your sight, but all kind of 'urgent' and not so urgent things keep you away from spending time with a book.
So, as part of my own Happiness Project this first year after my third divorce I decided to read them all and apply what I learn to make my life better and do things that make me happy. I made this decision in May 2014.
I will list them one by one now - the books from the top shelf.
I will make notes as I go this year which ones have been read, and which ones are still waiting.
Not telling if I will stick to the order of them on the shelf or not, I read 3 of them so far, the one on the left is being read now, the one facing you is the next.
So, here they are:
