My absolute favorite quote from this book is:
"Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You have to fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it.
You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings.
And once you achieve a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it, you must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it...
It's easy enough to pray when you're in distress but continuing to pray even when your crisis has passed is like a sealing process, helping your soul hold tight to its good attainments."
- Elizabeth Gilbert, "Eat, Pray, Love" - Bali

What a great quote! I haven't read the book but I watched the movie and I thought it was the most boring thing ever! So, hopefully the book is better than the movie. I'm sure it is. You have great taste in books.
Also, I miss you!
