Week Eighteen
Reading, Five books and Bright Lights!
The month of May is around the corner and the cold weather in North Carolina is behind us. I planted my veggie garden and cant wait to taste those, plump, juicy, tomatoes! I remember speaking with a Master Gardener at the ideal home show, last week, who gave me a great tip this year, wait to plant your veggie plants and annual flowers until after 15April as we expect no more frosts after this date. So I waited and planted….Yes! During the colder months I read like crazy. Following are some of the books I read and my thoughts about reading:
1) Get off your Attitude; jmrGrade 5/10 (I remember, leave your baggage at the station (I try too!)
2) Today Matters; jmrGrade 7/10 (I remember, debt will make you unhappy (It does!)
3) Jumpstart your Motivation; jmrGrade 5/10 (I remember readers are Leaders :-))
4) Make Yourself Unforgetable; jmrGrade 5/10 (Class and Confidence,(Authenticity)
5) The Sheep Thief; jmrGrade 6/10 (You become what you value” + the parable of the ST (luved it)
6) These five books were fair, non-fiction/self-development books, some of the content I had read before, regardless I always keep an open mind and learn more. Nothing really stuck out for me tho, so I continually search for good books to read! did I hear, readers are leaders?
7) I also pulled a few old books from my library and read a few snipets from them, Ask and you are Given, Poems of the Underground! I love going back to my favorite books; they ground me.
) Its funny tho as I continue to read and read, out of all the books I have read, my favorite book and the most meaning full book I have ever read is the Bible. I always go back to it. It is a history/poetry/literature/ family/ teaching /values / parenting book and is full of rightnwrong, compassion, empathy, goodness and is always on the best selling book year after year.
9) I give thanks to my Grandfather Randle who introduced me to this book. He gave my mum and dad a wedding gift, a tiny little black book that seemed to end up in my bedroom? Yes, it was a little black bible and 0wwwh it was so hard to read and understand back then. Thirty or so years passed and I read that book, backn’front, and ended up reading and studying that book more than no other. Strange or?
10) So, it is obvious, I love to read! I thought that was because I am an introvert, but maybe not as reading has also taught me many extrovert skills ( I think?) So, I try and encourage others to read too. I remember saying to my children, please read! it will turn on so many lights for you in your heads; my son replied it’s so bright in my head already that I dont think it can get any brighter… (he must have already been enlightened 🙂 Yet, my son and daughter continue to read — yeha! Do you read?
