One of my favourite favourite things to do in all the world is to read. I love to fill my brain with stories and information. Ideas and anecdotes of human struggles and triumphs and ideas about how to make the world a better place, a more romantic place; or how the world can be a hard place and how some parts of life and the world are way harder than what I've ever known. Reading keeps me grounded, while helping me learn to fly. It humbles me while teaching me how to be a dreamer, a learner, a better human.
Alas, I barely ever take time to read actual books anymore. I read blogs and articles everyday online but rarely do I crack the spine of a novel or volume and feel the pages, smell the paper. Heck even before technology took over my reading time having kids sucked a lot of it away.
This weekend we are heading to the lake and I am packing an eclectic mix of brain fillers to satisfy my tactical need for paper knowledge. Here's to hoping there's a smidge of time to spend soaking up words on an actual page.
What's your favourite thing to read?
