The Library A Portal into other worlds!

-


I've always been a reader since the age I knew I could read. My mother gave me a understanding and read to me almost every night . She took me to the library to pick out books almost everyday , she enrolled me into book reward programs. Into book clubs where I would receive a new and free book with activities to do almost every month. In my hometown , the librarians who have been at the library most of my life have watched me grow up. From being a small child dragging a book bag with her to being a adult reading about the most random things ever. What is my point to this? I love books , I'm a reader   I've read Breaking dawn in a few days . The Library is a portal to another world , to love on characters and hate the bad guys. When you are feeling down and dont know where to turn it always something . To Cheer me up
None the less its something that can free the mind. 
It is known that books can be like therapy when you are stressed. None the less I read to learn I read to escape. Things to expand your mind , I usually read things that are interesting to me and hold my thought. It is also known that people who read get ahead in the career of their choosing. Researching quotes , or rather information about readers I came upon a quote. 
  • 14% of children in lower income homes rarely or never read books for pleasure. ( this is think is BS) 
 This is purely BS , I came from a lower income home and my brothers do as well and they love to read. .. None the less have you visited your library today?

    that statistic is probably FAR too low. First, it doesn't say 100% of kids from lower income homes don't read. It says 14%. I'm almost 35 and grew up in a single family, middle income household. I love to read. Not because we were poor and didn't have a tv but because my mom shared with me her love of reading at a young age. But...I'm the oldest of 3 and my brother and sister both rarely or never read books for pleasure. My boyfriend and his sister both rarely or never read for pleasure. In the 16 years that we've been together, I have only seen Dave with a book TWICE. Both times were on vacation. Even then, he usually brings a Sports Illustrated to the pool or beach as well and probably spends more time reading that. And we grew up in the age of computers and early video game systems but this has become a society where kids don't even go outside and play anymore! They are attached to their iPhones or iPads or XBOX or PlayStation after school and on the weekends. Why would they read a book? I really wouldn't be surprised if a new study had a higher number.

    true , but it was just a random study that I had found while researching the subject.

Recovery and Moving on with your life : Its a Process..

Its coming up on two years since I packed up my stuff and left the place that I called home for the last three years. Though I dont feel like I should drag out my posts on what happened , then I feel like its a step in a long recovery of loving myself. And loving things before I associated them with him. Tears pouring down my face, I was told things would not change. But they did , I lost a pet ,  I lost someone that I thought loved me. Maybe he did at some point , but the love wasn't there anymore and thinking about it now . I really wish most days I left sooner, one step with recovery is you start liking and doing things you did during the relationship. Talking with a counselor , she also spoke of it being a remembrance of good memories not the bad ones.  I took a small step in that with cooking an egg in a nest, which is a piece of bread with an egg in the middle. Which was something that I loved , when I was with him. He actually made them for me when we first started d...

When it comes down to it .. You Gave Up , I did not ..

When it comes down to it , and its the brutal truth . Maybe someday you will read this or maybe not. Most days I believe that I kept going despite all the craziness that went with your life. If I honestly gave up then I would have left a long time ago. I stuck it out for 3 years, and when it comes close to say it. I would not have changed it for the world , you showed  me so much , what I wanted to have and what I did not need to deal with or deserve. When I do get in that mood or I think about what could have happened. I was the one who was wanting to stick it out until the end. I was the one who would have climbed mountains for you. When you did the basics , you were loving you were there for me when it counted. But at the same time , you lost that same spirit that you once had. But I still remember that day , when you gave up . When you said that is enough , when you sat and told me all these lies. And dont get me wrong , I thought at the time , it was the truth. YOU were the...

Sometimes you Just have to work at it.

Good Relationships , Dont Just happen they are built over a span of time . Sometimes are riddled with mistakes and sometimes things are just jumped quick. For example , my relationship is something that at the same is the most unperfect thing in the world. We jumped things way too quick, we moved in too quick and we did a lot of things way too quick. Our relationship does need work and  we do know it. Sometimes well all the time you need to be honest with yourself , sometimes change is good when thinking about a lot of things. As I'm not going into details because that is my private life , but honestly when thinking about it sometimes change is good. And sometimes change is needed when improving a relationship. You just have to work at it.
