Over the past week I have been thinking about, and talking about the whole reading deal, or the lack thereof. I have tried so hard to be better about reading, and doing the daily readings I should, and what holds me, personally, back from reading, and I have plenty of excuses. It's funny to be, because I say I don't read because I don't have time, I'm too busy, there are too many other things to do, but that isn't entirely true. Tonight I was reading, but the tv was on and it was a show that had plenty of action and it grabbed my attention. It is no wonder I am unable to focus. And then while working on a different class, I found myself toodling around on Facebook. It's really interesting to me, because I feel I fit in with many who say they don't read for reasons x or y. And then my daughter asked to watch a movie. I told her we would not have time for books then before bed, and she grabbed a couple of her favorites and went into her room. She has a love for reading that I hope to one day have. I don't know about the rest of the population and their reading problems, but I know in this mind, it is time to stop making excuses and being "lazy" and get to reading. Afterall... there is always time for anything I wish to make part of my life!
