Ever since I was a young girl, I have loved to read. There have been times when I was too busy to read like when my girls were little, and then times like the pandemic where I read a lot. In January of this year, I even wrote a post, Who needs to read less because I thought maybe reading so much was keeping me from being out in the world with people. Fast forward to earlier this month when I already met my goal of reading 36 books for the year, or 3 a month. I have been reflecting on it ever since wondering if my assumption was correct. I realized that other than a couple lazy Sunday’s when I stayed home and read all day, most of my reading is in the late evening or early Saturday and Sunday. Since I live alone now, I decided that reading is a healthy choice for me at that time of day. Sure, maybe I could work out more, but is watching TV really any better than curling up in bed with a good book? I have made the choice that I am going to make sure that I spend time with family and friends and go walking or hiking as much as I can, but I am going to stop telling myself that I read too much. I love to read, so I am going to quit setting any kind of reading goals, high or low, and just read when I want. Who else loves to read?
