New Source of Entertainment

Anyone that truly knows me, knows that I hate to read. I get really bored with it and it takes a lot to have a book grab me and suck me into its world. When asked what my favorite book is I actually do have an answer for them.

It is "The Giver."

I was flying to Salt Lake City one summer and had asked Nicole to recommend a book for me to read. She lent me that one and it was read in 2 days! Now anyone who has either read or seen that book, probably did or could read it in a day. But 2 days, that is a feat for me and I must say I am proud of myself.

Well, the reason for this post, while I was in the car driving to Cali (post about that later when I get pics from Dave) Dave and I were talking about what it would be like to live in a day when there was a horse and buggy to get you places,

where you had to grow your food,

hard labor was always a must sometime during your day,

entertainment was not relied on video games and television.

Well that got me thinking about my source of entertainment.

I love TV and movies.

I get so drawn into characters on the tube and just fall in love.

I even watch TV and movies at work.

Don't roll your eyes! I do work people, it's on the side of my screen, geez.

Thinking and knowing that I rely a lot of entertaining me is by the tube kind of makes me sad.

So....

I am turning off "the box" and reading for a week.

I want to fall in love with different characters.

I will have 3 books going.

CRAZY!! especially for a girl who hates the novel.

I will have one at work,

one at home

and one that I will read just before bed.

I am going to go in with a positive attitude and hope that by the end of the week, I will be a lover of books. Mom will so proud.

Gratitude Rocks!!
