February=Love: the 28th

(so I really did want to post this on the 28th...but I guess I am struggling with the scheduling feature of blogspot)

February=Love: the 28th

It is the last day of the month.

There are so many things still to write about.

I could make a blanket statement...

say that I love my life.

Which I indeed do.

I could say that I love that I have the ability to feel love.

It is probably the best motivation that I have in my life...

loving those around me, wanting the very best for them...

does it get any better than that?

But I think what I will end with is my lifetime love affair with reading.

I love to read.

I love books.

Many, many different books.

From different authors.

different time periods.

different genres.

I've rarely met a book that I didn't love.

and I can't really say that I've met any books that I didn't at least like.

I think that almost always you can find something worthwhile in a story...

some life lesson.

some of my most beloved...
