I try to have 3 books going at once. Some take take just days to finish, others weeks even months. I like to learn something new every day, something that stirs my imagination or makes me have an “ah ha” moment.
I have two amazing sisters in law. One is my source for my morning books, my books for personal and spiritual development. Ones that help you expand your world, your appreciation, your awe, that affirm or rock your belief systems that make you grateful that you are in the here and now. The other is my source for my evening books which are often fiction but always for relaxation, entertainment, escape, that take you across the world, across time, that explore human nature. The mid day reading (books/journals/articles/studies) are for personal and professional development in my field (and sometimes not) because there is always more to learn and better ways to communicate and share.
Is this a luxury or a necessity that I do this? In my book, it’s definitely the latter.
No Time? Not an excuse in my book. One less TV show is all you need, especially the news, because it’s usually always bad news. If there is something you really need to know, believe me, someone will tell you.
Reading is about taking flight in your imagination, observing, discovering, exploring your world both inside and out.
Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. Henry Ford
I think of reading as part of my anti-aging regimen and definitely as a component of keeping my mental body healthy.
