Simple to Start

We are going to make an attempt at getting back into Blogging here. I am reading a book called The Kind Life by Alicia Silverstone. I am only one chapter in, but so far both of the first two chapters have began with some really great quotes/info, so I thought I would share them.

Apparently, the original definition of diet is: (noun) a way of living, or thinking, a day's journey. Quite a bit different from everything attached to the word 'diet' today, isn't it? I am really trying to get in touch with what I eat and make healthier choices, but it so convenient just to eat/make something out of a box. I don't know if I could be vegan like Alicia, but I am making baby steps to a better diet. Pass the quinoa please.

Let food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food.

Even Hippocrates knew better way back then. How far we have come, yet how backwards we are.

Grown-up Time Book Review: Life of Pi by Yann Martel

The Life of Pi is written by a Canadian author and has not only reached National Best Seller status, but has also won the Man Booker Prize. This book is plain great and that is all I have to say about that. So, let’s fill up some space with my favourite quotes. ☺

"I have nothing to say of my working life, only that a tie is a noose, and inverted though it is, it will hang a man nonetheless if he is not careful.”

“It was a huge zoo, spread over numberless acres, big enough to require a train to explore it, though it seemed to get smaller as I grew older, train included. Now it’s so small it fits into my head.”

“To choose doubt as a philosophy of life is akin to choosing immobility as a means of transportation.”

“Come aboard if your destination is oblivion –it should be our next stop.”

Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
