Dr. Bruce and I love to read books to each other when we are traveling, with one of us driving and the other of us reading out loud. We’re also hooked on audiobooks, so these will just as often substitute for one of us reading. There is something very romantic about sharing a book page by page with each other, wondering what will happen next, getting caught up in the emotions of the book at the same time.
This is why I decided to talk about Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman’s Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia by Elizabeth Gilbert for this particular post. Today is Bruce’s and my 19th wedding anniversary (thank you for your happy wishes!). One year ago today, this is the book that we were reading together, and what a perfect choice it was!
This is a romance story with oneself, and finding that love for yourself, your life, and your place in the world is a prerequisite to finding love with another. After you have had a chance to get caught up in Elizabeth’s life for a while, see what you can pull out of this book to apply to your own life. Oh, and by the way, Happy Today!
