The trick is to keep breathing…

Think of something that makes you happy…
Sometimes the idea becomes to fake it till you make it. Sometimes you just need to find happiness where you can. In a cup of coffee. In your morning run. In dropping yet another belt size. In the laughter shared with your friends. In learning to hate the right people.
Sometimes battles aren’t worth fighting and sometimes they’re lost, but in the end they’re usually with yourself. So for all its worth think of something that makes you happy.

A few recommendations..
by Ranil on Mar.11, 2008, under Book Reviews
As many of you know I am a book fiend. So I thought, what more appropriate than to give you a few recommendations to add to your reading list. I recently finished a book by Christopher Moore called “Lamb – The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal“. A witty and entertaining story of the events occurring in the 30 year span of Jesus’ life unmentioned in the bible. If you’re looking for a light entertaining read this is your book. It’s one of those books you pick up and have a good laugh reading but find so hard to put down. I mean where else can you read that the origin of Judo is really Jewdo. An entertaining read for sure.
If you haven’t read the following books by now, I must recommend them to you
Perhaps the most important book I need to recommend is “The Time Travelers Wife“. A beautiful tale of a man who can’t stay still in time and the love that he finds in his travels. Imagine being able to meet the woman you are going to marry for the first time when she has already known you for years. I guess the most poignant line of the story “… why do you go where I can’t follow?” explains the whole feeling of the book. The only book that brought me to tears. I was introduced to the book by a good friend and was not disappointed. I’ve recommended this book to others and they have not been disappointed. I recommend this book to you.
I think I shall make this a more regular thing, recommending books to you my reader. Why not leave me some recommendations of which books I should read.
