Me Time

Me, myself, a coffee, no make that two coffees and a book. This is pretty much how I spent my quiet day. I visited the bookstore and got myself a copy of this book called "The Magic".


and while I was at it, I went ahead and ordered myself a slice of this yumminess:

It has been so long since I have actually read a book. Oh books. I have certainly missed you. As much as I enjoy reading ebooks, nothing replaces the feeling of running my fingers through the pages of the books, scribbling notes on the side of every page and using cute bookmarks. There were a lot of best sellers at the bookstore, but I was drawn to this particular book, "The Magic".

No, it's not a book filled with magic tricks that you could show off to your friends. It is the real kind of magic. It is the Magic of Gratitude. This book is just so inspirational, so magical. You're supposed to read this book daily, each day there is an exercise which you are to do. I'm only on the second day and I am feeling super blessed and I do feel a bit of magic in my life. I won't go into much detail, but you guys might want to try reading reviews about this book. This book is definitely worth buying.

How do you guys spend your "me time"?

Gratitude is a beautiful thing. It seems like magic when some people actually show it. LOL!

I also hardly have time to read any more - after getting home from work and doing chores, my brain shuts down. I need to do what you did - escape for a few hours! :)

Oooh, I'm so looking forward to my summer vacation, finally time for some reading again. There are a few books waiting for me :) I mostly dedicate my 'me time' to relax completely, paint my nails and just typical girl stuff really, ha ha :)
