Somedays just seem better than others. Let’s face it, on those rainy mornings when the room seems colder and your bed feels like God himself made it, no one wants to get up and be productive! Sometimes those days can turn wonderful! I call stormy, foggy, or dreary days “Snuggle-Book Days”. Those are the days I’m glad I didn’t procrastinate, or I DO procrastinate, so that I enjoy my crappy day. I hurry and get some yoga pants and a huge sweater on. I curl up in my double papasan chair with a cup of something hot but not before I grab the two most important ingredients of Snuggle-Book Day; a dog and a good book. Animals make life happier and so do books.
Today was started out as a Snuggle-Book day and quickly became a lovely afternoon. I was feeling pretty gutsy so I posted online that we needed children’s books for the library. Not only did our Facebook get some more likes, which was awesome, but a lady commented and offered us 20 BOOKS! I am so happy right now because of her generosity and kindness. There were other ladies who also commented and offered to look through their own personal collections for donations as well. I couldn’t be happier right now. What a marvelous day! I'm married, which is and has been wonderful! However, I have another love in my life. Books! There is something that I find so satisfying when I get a new book. A couple years ago, for my birthday, my husband gave me a Nook from Barnes and Noble. It was lovely and of course I adored it, at first. I downloaded a few books with the gift certificate he had also given me. However, the gift quickly lost its appeal. There were no pages to turn, no new or old book smell... I couldn't just throw it in my purse and go, it took more maintenance than that.
Psychologists have warned us that technology is replacing our personal connections with those around us, which may be true. But could it ever replace books? This reader thinks not ;-) Happy Valentines Day Everyone! |
