Unfinished things

This post is about unfinished things.  We all have them, all different but we all have them.  At the beginning of Spring I went and bought these two books, both had decent reviews and I thought if I picked them up in Spring I would surely have had them read by now. Each time I go camping, or take them to work and read them during times of the job that I could, at night before I go to bed...you get the idea.  I figured I had plenty of time to get these done.  I actually have 2 other books that I started and the story is the same...they are lying around unfinished.  

I had a list of projects around the house at the beginning of Spring also that i wanted done.  For the most part, they are all.  I think I may have even surpassed what I wanted to accomplish.  The books, I dont know, i start reading and then I get to doing something else.  Unfinished stuff like this is frustrating me.  It means I am not taking enough time to just be still and let my mind go off into something interesting, something different than my ordinary routines, taking the time to de'stress--detox.   I continue to try to find ways to end some of the chaotics of my life, but I'm in a constant struggle.  

Summer is about half over, I'm hoping to have these books completed by then.  I will have new goals then, perhaps new books, but I would really like to be able to commit 100% to not letting life take over my mind.
