I know, my small book reading collection isn’t much, but, thru my re-focus on my personal growth, reading more is an area I have sought to improve upon. Not only for the health and knowledge benefit, but for being able to have another one of those limited places where you can find a place of peace, at least for me. My book reading attitude hasn’t always been like that, but I’m thankful for the growth and while also sharing my re-focus on reading, I also wanted to share the ‘Unicorn” sighting I had a couple of years ago, that added to the start of my re-focus on reading more.
In summary, the story was that while I was out on an appointment one day, as I was leaving the establishment, I noticed a mother with her 3 children who had to be between the ages of 5 and 10 years old, entering the same establishment. What I saw in all 3 of those children’s hands was like seeing a Unicorn for me. They all had books. Not phones, but books. I compare it to a Unicorn sighting because these days to see kids without phones and with books outside of school, was in these days a delightful rarity. Don’t forget the books!
