oct 11

Eleanor Roosevelt, what a great and very prolific writer. I had no idea. It was much fun and very informative to read over her daily journal, my day. I chose to read several of her columns on women and voting. In light of the upcoming election, which might greatly effect the health and well being of women, I thought it good to read her views on women and voting. Thich Nhat Hahn: I read from his most wonderful book, Living Buddha, Living Christ. It was very challenging and thought provoking, a wonderful challenge to live more mindfully. I have read this book before, but in reading it again I found myself rediscovering its very profound quality. Rereading books is a gift, or a treasure often overlooked.

Oct 4 a day of variety

So I did not read Damon Runyon, rather a wide variety of poetry from a number of poetry collections. Also it is the day after Emily Post's birthday, so I was able to read some of her helpful etiquette tips.
