Reading !

Learning is what I am on a mission to do for all the days of my life! I am a simple woman from simple people and please let me qualify that when I say simple I am not referring to anything but our way of life. I make it my mission to keep my things as laid back as possible but if there is one area I need to challenge myself in more it would be education. Formal education is one way to learn but not the only way. I choose everyday to pick up a book and read. I read for education and occasionally for entertainment. I love reading , I remember when the children were small " Reading Rainbow" was a program they watched at my leading because it was a window to the world of reading. My window to the world of reading was in the house next door to where I grew up. Her name was Annabelle and she encouraged me to read for the entertainment value and that was the door that gave me vision to see how very big the world really was. I will be eternally grateful to her for giving me that encouragement! Reading is imperative to life. Those who do not open their minds to learning seem to stay in a time warp. Learning creates an environment that "should" never let anyone become arrogant , I believe the more you learn the more humble it should make you. I could read every book known to man and still it would only be a drop in the bucket to all there is to know! Reading , learning, researching these are things that I do without much thought and I know my personality drives me this way, so with that knowledge I understand all people are not alike so I would be arrogant and wrong to think everyone should feel as I do but today let me challenge you to pick up a book and read for entertainment and learn something about people or life you did not know before, now go on grab that book you bought a long time ago , blow the dust off and read , go to a new place or experience a new opinion , just do it !
