And stories make us grow. They add colors and textures and emotions and new perceptions to our personal library called `self’. Stories add depth and dimension to our being, and give us perspectives on things that we may never have considered, whether fiction or non-fiction.
That is, of course, if we choose good books.
Up until a couple days ago, I had several spots around the house with books that I had picked up here and there, books I’ve been waiting to read. Now they’re all in one place. And as I am just finishing the fabulous book I’ve been reading, I also find myself wondering … who do I want to meet next? Where do I want to go? What time period feels inviting right now? What do I want to know?
And which book, which story, will take me there? Is it here on my shelves, or will I take a trip to the library? Reading is just such an incredible gift.

So great that you found time to consolidate your book collection. It’s helpful to have all those wonderful stories close at hand!

True, but I used to get more exercise — walking from the front of the house to the back, and then downstairs for the third bunch! LOL

I agree, Jeanne, reading is an incredible gift. The bulk of my reading pile has been saved for winter’s long dark period.

I go through periods of `can’t put it down’ and then a break … never the same. As long as there always books at hand. :-)

Thank you so much! I look forward to it. Unlike many people, I enjoy speaking in public and sharing knowledge and experience with others, giving them a little inspiration.
