Vacation Read

After posting the trailer for the Eat, Pray, Love movie and reading your comments to my confession about not reading the book yet, I dug out my copy. I packed 4 books for my vacation – in hindsight I was a bit ambitious!

I re-started to read Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert the first day of my vacation. I was in the Dallas-Fort Worth, TX airport waiting on my husband to fly in.

I happened to be enjoying lunch at T.G.I.Fridays, with a Southwest Chicken Salad and “Texas Tea” – unsweetened that I add Sweet ‘n Low to! This pretty pink empty package went on to my bookmark.

I’m a slow reader and enjoyed a few pages nearly every day of my vacation.

I finished off the book early this afternoon on my deck, while enjoying the long August weekend at home! Eat, Pray, Love was an AMAZING book – I’m so glad I went back and re-read it in a different head space.

I find it amusing that I started & finished the book eating a salad!

One of my summer favorites – spinach, strawberries (or mandarin orange segments), feta cheese with creamy poppy seed dressing.

I’m now even more excited about watching the movie that debuts in 2 weeks after reading the book. I realize that movies don’t do a perfect job of capturing all of the details that the book offers – however I’m excited to watch Julia Roberts play Liz, listen to the uplifting tunes (bound to be awesome based on the trailer synopsis’) and experience the gorgeous scenery the movie was filmed in.

Have you read the book Eat, Pray, Love? Are you eager to watch it on movie also?

Hope you’re having a fabulous August long weekend (Canadians) & weekend (American & International followers!).

Live Inspired,
