My love for the bookstore

Ahh the bookstore, I can't really explain my love for the bookstore... It's the smell of new books, the feel of new books, I could just spend a whole day in the bookstore...

My sister came over and we ran some errands together and ended our evening with an hour browsing through books. I still have a couple books I have not finished, hmm or even started yet (I always buy more than I need)... but there is no way I will leave the bookstore empty handed ahahh. So I got this.

I'll turn to a page and write a sentence... "stop taking things personally" ... (i do this, so i'll stop ahhah!)

I also convinced my sister to get this other book called God never blinks. I'll borrow that from her once she's done :P

This chapter caught my attention. And I noticed it's my lucky number 13 tooo!
This jumped out at me because I believe it soo much. We all have different journey's. We all do things for different reasons. We need to always do things for our own reasons to be happy. I find many people look at other peoples lives and compare or compete or follow, but really we do not know what the other persons real journey for themselves is. Just because you see what you see does not mean you know, and even if you think you know, you should always look within and not at others when designing your own journey.. Because looking at others and not within, you may find yourself at a destination that is not for you... Just some food for thought :)


Happy weekend!

  1. I too love the bookstore. I could spend all day just wondering around in one. Maybe turning to that page in the book was a sign for you to work on that. Hope you have a great weekend.

  4. I love bookstores, too. I can spend hours in Barnes and Noble and not even realize how much time has passed. I am a book fanatic. And yes, everyone's journey is different. Sometimes it is hard not to compare, especially when someone else has something you desperately want. But, we are all experiencing what we came here to experience. It's for the best, although it doesn't always feel like it!

  5. I am going back and catching up on old posts. I love the bookstore. I have this strong urge to by like 10 books every time I am in one.

    What I love more...those shoes you are wearing in this picture. Where are they from?
