Goodbye, Butterflies

-
Do you remember the days when liking someone was just enough?  For some, it didn't matter how they treated you, what kind of attention the gave or didn't give to you, whether or not they had goals, who their friends were, how they got along with their family, if they were reliable, responsible, and whether or not they would make a good father... or mother. When I was in high school, I chose the boys who were cute because they gave me "butterflies"; up into my mid-twenty's I chose the guys who had a nice face, muscular body, and who knew how to have fun because they gave me excitement...and you know what that got me?

BOOK RECOMMENDATION OF THE MONTH: THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE

It's been awhile before I read a book as comforting as the one I am recommending.  Regardless of your religion/spirituality, this book opened the path to new perceptions about difficult situations.  I can honestly say this book has helped me tremendously from falling into depression; only some books leaving you feeling happy after reading a few pages, and this is definitely one of those books. ABOUT THE BOOK: The most basic question everyone faces in life is Why am I here? What is my purpose? Self-help books suggest that people should look within, at their own desires and dreams, but Rick Warren says the starting place must be with God and his eternal purposes for each life. Real meaning and significance comes from understanding and fulfilling God's purposes for putting us on earth. READ MORE: http://purposedriven.com/books/pdlbook/
