The photos are great, a lot of really interesting views and scenes, and way better than the pictures I take, but I miss reading your words. I can't help it, I'm just a texty kind of girl. ;-)<br /><br />The Montague Bookmill sounds wonderful, I wish I could go!! And I'm glad you found <i>Johnny Panic</i> at such a great price. Book bargains are one of my favorite things!<br /><br />Funny that our minds are both leaning toward meditation lately (and/or mediation, medication, wish I could afford a vacation, etc.). I'm sorry to hear it's been a dark winter for you. My moods were decent considering all the snow and frigid days we had -- I could have been a lot worse off than I was. But yes, if we've been thinking about meditation, it's worth some investigation.<br /><br />I heard about that PBS series but unfortunately I didn't watch it. Thank you for the link; I just jumped over and watched the overview, and it does look really good. I'll try to track it down! I'm sure I'll want to read Gilbert's book too, after watching the series. ;-)<br /><br />Hope you have a good weekend too, in spite of that huge rain storm over the Eastern part of the country. On the plus side, at least it's not snow again. Thanks for stopping by and "chatting"!HeathMochaFrosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09171967251746524692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5392290704681873070.post-39133262491788007332010-03-13T12:16:36.481-06:002010-03-13T12:16:36.481-06:00P.S.

They had fairly sizable sections of used lit crit and poetry books, and the prices weren't bad! It's also a lovely spot to sit and read, and their cafe had some good food! I also found some nice books, including Sylvia Plath's <i>Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams</i> (which I surprisingly did not own) for only $1.50!<br /><br />You read my mind... Mediation may just be the thing for us types (whatever that means)! ;-) I have been considering learning and practicing meditation since the year began. My depression was very bad this winter and I hit a wall where I felt I needed to do something soon or else... There is a meditation center just down the street from us and they have a free open house every month for those who are interested in finding out what they are all about. I may try check it out, but I also know that their classes are pretty expensive for my budget right now. I'll probably just read about meditation first before I jump into it.<br /><br />Did you see the 3-part documentary, <a href="http://www.pbs.org/thisemotionallife/" rel="nofollow">"This Emotional Life"</a> on PBS a few months ago? If not, that is also worth checking out! I really want to read Dan Gilbert's <i>Stumbling on Happiness</i> now... Have you read it?<br /><br />OK, I have proven to be the world's longest comment writer! Have a nice weekend!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362311243802816203noreply@blogger.com
