(For the record, I was...I have a copy of this book! (For the record, I was not the one who brought it to the relationship.) I used it to prop up the Christmas tree last year. You know how if your tree is too small, or weirdly shaped, the screw of the tree stand won't reach the trunk? Well I reached over to the bookshelf and shoved "The Seven Habits..." in there and it made the tree stand straight. At the time, I thought it was either ironic or fitting. Having not read the book, I'm not sure which. <br /><br />And now I can't find it. <br /><br />More later on this wonderful post!Katherine {eggton}https://www.blogger.com/profile/10173463492528687959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2846773082587222338.post-25182622970459184552013-05-02T20:36:42.943-04:002013-05-02T20:36:42.943-04:00I know I need a lot of solitude (which is so near-...I know I need a lot of solitude (which is so near-insultingly contrary to the expectations of this modern world), but I'm a slow processor, and I like being honest -- am beginning to see how it's the kernel to everything really good and worth doing, and I also know how swayed I can be by the onslaught of opinions and influences of others. Sometimes you need that isolation to know what you really think, in order to *be* honest -- so I don't think you should regret any of it.<br /><br />Also, like the nerd and former too-good student that I am, I immediately went to the bookshelf to see what Covey said on the next page -- but I couldn't find it!Ms.Nožiskováhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04258554484478216325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2846773082587222338.post-43408458390305356512013-04-27T12:25:28.448-04:002013-04-27T12:25:28.448-04:00I want to practice being really honest with myself...I want to practice being really honest with myself. Also, I want to hear more about your period of solitude... It also reminds me how you are reading May Sarton's Journal of a Solitude and how I want to read that too. I guess I've been thinking a lot lately about these things... More later, perhaps not in the comments' section though. :) :) <br /><br />Thank you for writing this!!! xoAmelia Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09374986152389436014noreply@blogger.com
