Thanks for getting us started Leah! Work is insane today!
Today I am thankful for being able to read. As an introvert, I love getting lost in a good book and taking interesting adventures with great characters, all without leaving my house. Yesterday, after a rather stressful day at work, I came home picked up a funny romance novel and was giggling away before I knew it. It gave me a great pick up for the rest of my evening.
My mother read at least a book a day, and while I can't meet her pace, she passed that love on to me and I in turn passed it on to my child, who is now passing it on to other children as a middle school English teacher specializing in reading. I am so proud of him and what he does.
Being able to read is a huge gift, not only for enjoyment, but also for knowledge, and one that I truly appreciate each and every day.
