I love cats, but do I love them this much?

Saw this book today and I was instantly relieved: obviously someone loves cats far more than I. Though I was momentarily tempted to try my hand at this, I quickly  decided to pass. (My mediocre knitting skills far outweighs my desire for a knitted replica of Han and Sock)  However, if anyone wanted to knit my cats for me... 

Early Start

Ah! I got up so early today. Feeling pretty energetic after doing all that cleaning! You could say that my oosouji was a great success :) I got my run in this morning and made this delicious and nutrient packed egg white and spinach pepper omelet. A great start to a great day! Now I'm off to donate clothing since I had a closet Zen moment yesterday haha. Since I'm still feeling quite minimalist today I'll leave you with one of my favorite quotes from, Tales from the Tao:

"In the world of knowledge,

 Everyday something new is added, 

In the pursuit of Tao, 

Every day something is let go" - Lao Tzu

What I'm Reading

These were supposed to be part of my beach reading this year but it has quickly become Fall reading due to my lack of actual reading time :)

The Future of Power is a really great read so far and I applaud how the author takes a relatively difficult topic and explains it with clarity and ease. What I have really enjoyed  is the topic of Soft Power which  uses positive, attractive plans of action to achieve outcomes  in a way that military strength cannot.

The second book I've just started but I feel it will be  filled with very, very interesting facts. I need only point to the cover titles. 

What are you all reading right now?
