The Sunday Salon (Mar.28)
This week I had a hard time picking up any books. My husband’s uncled died on Monday, and so did my neighbor’s dog — which I loved to pieces, and would always visit with over the back fence. So, the first half of the week was spent getting over all of that, and going to the visitation and funeral with hubby and his family.
But, then things picked up, as I got my copy of “The Eden Diet” by Rita Hancock, M.D. in the mail. And, I’ve been reading every chance I get since it came! 
It’s a really good book, and I highly recommend it to anyone with a weight problem. Even though it’s written from a Christian perspective, it’s by no means “preachy”, so I think you’d be able to read it and still get the basics out of it, even if you had to skip over the religious parts. 
And, FYI, there’s a blog where you can learn more, too: http://theedendiet-christian-weight-loss.blogspot.com
And, that’s basically all I’ve been able to read, this week. I’d started off trying to get into Wayne Jacobsen’s “So You Don’t Want to Go to Church Any More“, but I just didn’t have my head in the right place.
Condolences and (((HUGS))) for the family member.
Happy Palm Sunday.
Thanks, Freda.
I have had a hard time getting INTO any books this past week. I’d start one, decide I didn’t care for it, flip to the end, and ditch it. I think I’m finally coming out of it though. I’ve started a couple books, one of which is an account of life in the era of Woodstock and hippies, featuring people who were earnest and idealistic and no time to waste on being a hippie and going to Woodstock. It’s “I Promised You Daisies,” (part 2 of a trilogy “Imperfectly Ordinary” by Robert Banjamin. This one shares his experiences as a young man in 1960s Boston — he’s trying to build a responsible life out of his shattered youthful dreams without first having understood why they failed.
So that is one. I also got to my library yesterday to find out that my reserve copy of Joy Fielding’s latest was in. That was fun and that book will be next.
And my condolences — that’s a lot in one week.
Oh…I forgot trying to walk and read at the same time. I saw someone else do it and thought “how great!”
Then I tried it and I couldn’t do it at all.
