Patti tagged me for one that’s making the rounds right now. The rules:
- Pick up the nearest book.
- Open it to page 123
- Find the fifth sentence.
- Post the next three sentences.
- Tag five people, and acknowledge who tagged you.
The book: one I am reading right now for the purposes of reviewing – Mothers Need Time-Outs, Too (Susan Callahan, Anne Nolen, Katrin Schumann, New York: McGraw-Hill, 2008). Let this be a teaser:
Humans are better, happier beasts when their personal, emotional needs are being met. “Cerebral virtues–curiosity, love of learning–are less strongly tied to happiness than interpersonal virtues like kindness, gratitude, and capacity for love,” says Dr. Martin Seligman, author of Authentic Happiness. It’s the gentleness and appreciation that couples share in their best moments that nourishes them in a way nothing else can.
I’m tagging Bethany, Brittany, ML, Joanna, and Sheri. Have fun!
Well you took it better than Clair.
What a lovely excerpt from your book.
Thanks for tagging me again. I’ve still got to do the earlier one! As luck would have it, I keep a certain book here at my desk and it was right on top of a big pile. Fitting. I should get my post up tomorrow afternoon.
Sheesh Patti, no kidding. I just saw this as similar to the “Page 69” test, sort of a small promo. Fun stuff.
That said, originally I picked up “The Zombie Survival Guide,” but the required excerpt was too contextual. Plus I figured y’all were tired of hearing me geek out about zombies.
ML, can’t wait to see! 🙂
I need to get that book. LOL!
