All these wonderful books that I read and don't write anything about or take time to pause and digest, but the one I pick is a corporate entrepreneurial self-help guide. Not something I would voluntarily read, as it serves a practical purpose and reading is an esoteric activity that should be enjoyed for itself, not because of any tangible gains or improvements as a result. Reading is to be enjoyed, not applied to the real world. There is part of me that wants to do a good job though, and if this helps then hey-ho. The reason I read it was because my company have introduced a 'Spirit Day' which each of us should use for development and well-being. I was sceptical of this, but I must admit I really enjoyed a day of very few emails and no meetings when I could concentrate. It also appears to have inspired me to start writing again, even if just a few sentences. I've broken 1000 miles for the year (running) and just had a PB in the GSR and the Surrey Half, so I'm feeling fit and healthy for a change. I've also stopped drinking, which undoubtedly contributed to that wellbeing too. Will be back on it by Christmas no doubt, and in the meantime am eating far too many sugary and fatty snacks.
