Good morning my DU family,

I read parts of two books last night, and for four glorious hours, time stood still. I wasn't clicking on a story or checking the score or playing Canasta, no, I was entirely engrossed by one rich engaging, thought provoking book, that happens to be written by my dear passed friend Rory's ex wife. The other book is on writing. Lol.

I feel so relaxed and yet stimulated, it was intimate. And I got to experience it without a TV or computer screen.

Please give us a day filled with opportunities to make time, to slow down, to experience instead of watch, to feel instead of casualty (on purpose).

Have a wonderfully eventful day DU.
Love, John
