Fall Reading Inspiration

I'm starting to reread 'Digital Minimalism' by Cal Newport and reflecting on using less social media. Last night, there was an urge to use social media since I was feeling tired and just wanted to relax, but instead I decided to read.

 I got into the 2 book club books I'm reading that are middle school reads.  And I know that it made me more relaxed but also more energized as well as more tired. Something about using a screen in the later hours into the evening can make me feel less inspired, more awake before bedtime and less productive.

I was able to get into the storyline and characters of the books I'm reading and totally lost track of time. But I could tell I was enjoying it and was getting immersed into it. 

It makes me think of Fall, how time seems to slow down a bit. The wind can pick up, but there's a stillness in the air- changing leaves, faded sunlight, sitting pumpkins. 

The harvest moon came out last night and I saw it this morning- so big and visible. Activities like reading can bring about certain realizations of how we're using our time, our motives, stillness and diving more into creative elements like our imagination.
