Take Time Out! To Read!
How many people today, can remember back to when there was “No TV”, and none of the “Electronic hand-held items glued to everyone’s hand?”
I was talking with someone who was asking me why I did not have a “cell phone’, as if – if you do not have one – you just are not living? With everyone so important today – that they must be in constant contact with the world – “I’m sorry – that just is not the road for me!”
In those good old days – when you could hear yourself think – I had a very secret place – cosy, comfortable spot – a place to be all by myself! In my “Mother’s House” in the living room was this upholstered side chair – plush and comfortable. I would sit and spin my legs up and over one arm-rest and cosy myself in the corner and it was like a recliner, but ever so much more, holding me so secure in pure comfort. Hours and more hours – I was there reading.
Have to tell you of the longest reading books, I finished reading there. Check out this book, “The Wide Wide World” – this book I’m guessing has 600 pages, but once you start reading – it just keeps you glued – you can hardly put it down to get a bite of food! The other I still remember is, “The Girl of the Limber lost” – something I just could not stop, after starting to read. Both books are very good and once you start to read – you’ll find like I did – a comfortable and secret place all your own – “It’s Wonderful to read Good Books!”
