Books I want to remember and Things that inspired or pushed me to take action
For the first day or two I felt stunned, overwhelmed. I could only apprehend my felicity; I was too confused to taste it sincerely. I wandered about, thinking I was happy, and knowing that I was not. I was in the condition of a prisoner in the old Bastile, suddenly let loose after a forty years' confinement. I could scarce trust myself with myself. It was like passing out of Time into Eternity—for it is a sort of Eternity for a man to have his Time all to himself. It seemed to me that I had more time on my hands than I could ever manage. From a poor man, poor in Time, I was suddenly lifted up into a vast revenue; I could see no end of my possessions; I wanted some steward, or judicious bailiff, to manage my estates in Time for me. From “The Superannuated Man” 1823

Made me smile and feel like 10 again!
In my local bookshop whilst browsing in the interiors I found a sealed blue envelope in one of the books. It wasn't addressed to anyone and there wasn't another one in other copies of the same book. I felt it was for me to open!! Not quite the words or message I'd hoped for but an enchanting experience.
