I know you said you do not have time for a lot of leisure reading but you might want to look into the book 'In Prasie of Slowness' by Carl Honore. It talks about changing your outlook by finding time to slow down and recharge/decompress and also how you can find new ways to appreciate activities if they are done slowly.<BR>I am discovering that the easiest way to recapture my sense of wonder is to actually listen to my own son and follow his lead. This has the added benefit of bonding with my son as well.</BR> I like this post a lot.
