Feed Your Mind…

I use to read so much when I was growing up. I remember reading Nancy Drew books under the covers with a flashlight when it was lights out for the night. My Mom use to take us to the library so we could read all of the books we wanted. When I first got married we would read books every night. My husband read the book first and then I would read it and then we could discuss it. That was great! We didn’t own a TV, hard to believe that one can survive without a TV, but guess what? You can.

When we had kids we read to them constantly. It was so much fun. When they were old enough I took them to the library. They had an amazing storyteller there. We would listen to her first and then they got to check out books. They would check out about ten books each. When we got to the car they would immediately open the books and start reading. Reading to them and with them would be a big part of our family for many years.

The last few years I have gotten away from reading. I have immersed myself in art. I didn’t want to get into art while raising the kids because I knew it would take too much time away from raising the kids. I knew time with them would go fast and it did.

Now I am looking for balance so I find myself wanting to read again. I wanted to read something light and fun, so I have discovered Nora Ephron’s books. If you are thinking of taking up reading this is a great place to begin.  Another plus, you eat less when you read than when you watch TV. Give it a try.
