Fun Times!
The end to another fast, fun-filled day in the Horton home. After my mentoring group left this afternoon, the kids and I enjoyed lunch together and then I began reading a book one of my mentors gave me. It's amazing how similar our tastes in literature are! I started out thinking......"well, I'll read while the kids are napping, maybe fall asleep".....having no idea once I started this book I would be captivated for hours! I read nearly 100 pages, through the 10th chapter and can't wait to head to bed and read more. I used to hate reading. I mean really hate reading. But when I was in school I realized that I had to embrace reading purposely so that I could legitimately define my own voice. Who I am, what I believe, what makes me unique, my passions, my fears, my desires......they've all been refined through reading, understanding, and that amazing thing called "discovery" that happens when you are challenged by a good book! Well....Mrs. Susan. Quaker Summer is just the book I needed today. And I'm so "engaged" in the author's journey......this is just what I needed to jump start my brain again! I had grown complacent to only know what I had previously known....now my appetite is back!
