Reading and Writing

this blogging thing, has taken my thoughts
and put them into the written word, i have
always loved to write, however i was never good
at putting my words on paper, i never had a diary
or a journal, i might have started one of these
many years ago as a teen, however it might have
been two days the most that the written word
appeared, and i would then shove it in the back
of a closet, to be seen never more

i have also loved to read, i could read a book in two
days, and then go onto the next, i only read hardcover
as the paperbacks, just don't feel the same to me

when this blogging began, i stopped reading, i would
surely go to Barnes and Noble and buy books, but i
would just not pick it up to read, the book of choice
would sit on my dresser waiting to be open, and of
course collecting dust, almost like a treadmill!

i realized this, when sandie blogged about her love
for books, and many of the books she mentioned i
read, the realization made me miss it so

i just have to figure out, how to juggle reading
and blogging, as in life, you learn as you go,
so i need to learn, i need to master the time
issues

i went to barnes and noble today, and spent 2hrs
there, just reading excerpts of books, i bought a
book "The Garden of Last Days" by Andre Dubus III
he is the author of Sand and Fog, which i read and
loved, i enjoyed my visit, and walked out with a smile
and my new book

i will be making a connection with this book in the
next few days, i will be giving myself something that
i surely love, the way i see it, its all about the
juggling of life, the making time for yourself and
sticking to it

special Thank You to Sandie, for reminding me
how very much i love to read!
