Gift From the Sea
At least once a year I like to revisit an old friend....a little book by Anne Morrow Lindbergh called "Gift From The Sea". It was originally written in 1955 but the principles are timeless and each rereading I find new truths. Every woman ought to read this book occasionally. It addresses the issues of multi-tasking and complicating our lives in a way that makes for a lot of introspection. Lindbergh says she wants "--to live "in grace" as much of the time as possible......an inner harmony, essentially spiritual, which can be translated into outward harmony." She talks about "how to remain whole in the midst of the distractions of life; how to remain balanced, no matter what centrifugal forces tend to pull one off center; how to remain stong, no matter what shocks come in at the periphery and tend to crack the hub of the wheel." I could go on and on quoting this tome but I hope I piqued your curiosity to buy it and read the whole thing! It is a book you will want to pass along to others who are special to you.
