preparation

I have been catching up with a few of my favourite poker blogs today.It's amazing how quickly poker takes hold of me.Immediately excitement sets in,anticipation grows and adrenaline starts to pump.All this despite me having no intention of playing poker for a while.
This has made me realise that i need to prepare for my return.I MUST REMEMBER THAT I WAS A LOSING PLAYER.What changes do i need to make?I think i should start with buying a few books, and studying, concepts and strategies.
