Today, on earth day 2017, I read a book.

I've been thinking of having a dedicated non-tech day.

Once a week seems like a great idea, but will I?

I don't have too many unscheduled days.

Today was open, no plans. A sloth day.

Yes, a real book. Cover to cover.

What a concept.
  

Stretching the marathon reading muscles. 
They've atrophied a bit, but still work.

Is the print smaller?

You know what got me yearning to read?

A friend sent me a link to his daughter's essay here.

The beauty of her words & thoughts charmed me.

She had signed her work Anonymous, but I said 

I thought it was too good not be by Amy Turner!

It was like revisiting something that you 

have been missing, but not realized.

I used to read a lot.

 I would often copy special phrases into a journal, 

always crediting the author & book.

Re-reading later & remembering what touched me.

So yesterday, I wrote down three passages by Amy Turner.

My 3 gorgeous teenage Grandhunks hate to read.

I tell them, they are stabbing me in the heart!

I tried my best, but to no avail. A sign of the times?

I feel so sorry for their loss.

Does it thrill you to read how talented people 

can & do put words together in a magical way? 

Hope you had a wonderful weekend 

& I thank you so much for stopping by.

 

A smile for Sunday ...
