A Summer 'to-do'

So thus ends my vacation. *HUGE SIGH*

It has been a very good time. For a rest from the rest of my life, for time with friends that I have been close to for a long time, and catching up with a friend I haven't seen in a LONG time. I was very grateful for all of it.

Many many things have changed, but some things have stayed the same. I have missed Saskatchewan but it is not in the cards to be there right now. Plus I also must consider if I was there, would I want to be? Or would my condition of 'anywhere but here' take over? I imagine that is the case. I was happy to go and was, well not quite ready to come back but maybe that is all for the best. Plus it will always be there when I need it =D

I feel refreshed, and relaxed and calm about everything. It has all fit into place and I haven't planned any of it. For such a time is this!

So I guess it will be on with the rest of my summer. Although I am not allowing myself to plan I am someone who enjoys lists. I am hoping to have some time to read this summer (whether or not I get to all of them) So here is some stuff on my bookshelf. There are some more books kicking around I know I want to read but they are all lost right now. So here it is!

Musicophilia by Oliver Sacks: A neurologist, and writer and appreciator of music. Perfect combination :)
This is your brain on music by Daniel Levitin. Another music and your brain book to keep my neurons working this summer.
The Lost Symbol Dan Brown: Read his other books. Liked them, don’t believe any of it is factual. But fun reads.
David Lodge, Author, Author a novel. A dry British humour book.
The Witch of Portobello by Paulo Coelho. This was recommended by a friend.
Vinyl Cafe Diaries Stuart McLean. Some short stories for sunny afternoons =)
The proposal by Lori Wick, A recent favourite author. Easy reads with nice plots.
The Bible New Testament, Jesus Christ. Recently I have felt encouraged to read through all the books of the bible. I have decided to start with the NT. I’ll keep my progress on this blog.

So I know there are some more books kicking around here I’d like to read. But this is a start.
