Read past it and write through it. These have been charms for me lately. Reading helps me skip over troubles that I can't control--it give me brain some time to rest. Writing through it usually means writing about the trouble until it has little power over me.
When I had a nightmare as a child, Mom would sometimes tell me to read--to cleanse my mind of the scary images.
Falling asleep while reading is rather blissful.
Lately, Oliver has often observed Josh and I both reading. And now, Oliver loves taking out his own books and "reading" them to us. The modeling seems to be working!
I think of reading books as a vital life skill.
Inspiring lists, sparkling reads, and quirky musings from a writer~reader~wife~mama~advocate who wants to seek, create, and savor life's sweet bits.
