Reading

I have always loved to read. I would devour books. Almost any genre would do. I just loved the adventures you could emerse yourself in. While life felt so limited, you could become part of the story and actually experience what it felt like to have no limits at all.

When I was a child, we had a lot of story books, then in late elementary I was introduced to Nancy Drew and Trixie Belden. Oh I loved a good mystery. I have read every one. I grew as a reader and could not wait for the library to get the newest book in whatever series I was reading. Now you have thousands upon thousands of adventures right at your fingertips, just a download away.

What a blessing it is to be able to read. To escape to deserted islands, haunted mansions, or remote villages in the jungle. I am so thankful for this often overlooked skill…this gift.
