Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for a lot of things but if I had to narrow it down I would say it is my love of reading.  I know my gift came from my mother who was never without a book.  She always had a different book in every room in the house.  She'd have her tea and cigarette and read (she no longer smokes, YAY!).  She'd have a book in her bedroom to read before bed.  And there would undoubtedly be a book in the livingroom on the end table or coffee table for her to read while watching tv.

I now watch as my two daughters enjoy to read and I feel as if I have done right by them.  Pushing a book into their hands will always be the best memory I will ever have.
