My new favorite book

I got a early Christmas present....it's a book called The Traveler - I shall quote from it today. It's amazing!

There once was a boy named Charlie, who had a nice life - but it
wasn't quite perfect. he had to spend too much of his time doing things he didn't want to do. So one day he packed up all his time in a suitcase, locked it up and set off to find a better way to spend it. Charlie traveled the world looking for the perfect thing to make him happy. In the meantime, unbeknownst to him, his itsy-bitsy seconds and silky, smooth hours raggedy days ticked away so that
when Charlie stopped traveling and realized what he truly wanted out of life, it was almost too late.

Almost.


Can we really pack up our silky smooth hours? Do we want to? It's the sweetest book I have ever read and it clearly has a message that says to don't waste your time, your silky smooth hours or your itsy-bitsy seconds looking for something better. Be happy where you are at. Be glad with what you have and laugh with your friends.

I have a lot to learn from Charlie.
