Why I Love to Read
Snowy Days
Why
Do I love to read? Snowy days! Yesterday, in Norman, OK, we got a nice coating
of snow. It left the ground and trees with a couple of inches of pretty fluffy
flakes. On days like these all I want to do is curl up of my couch with my
comfy reading blanket and dig into a good book. Every once in a while I will
look out the window to see the pretty flakes coating the ground. On the table
next to me will be a steaming cup of hot zen green tea and on the other side of
the couch sits my hubby reading on his iPad. Doesn't that sound heavenly?!
Wait!
Enter screaming kids saying, “I’m bored!” My Eden has been disturbed; but only
for a couple of moments. I say back “why don’t you read a book?” “That’s a
great idea, mommy!” My seven year old will pick up a Dork Diaries book and my
five year will pick up a princess reader. We all snuggle together on the couch
under my comfy reading blanket. Once again, doesn’t that sound heavenly?
Wait!
Enter the dogs, Layla and Ringo, and jump right in the middle of our Eden.
Another disruption!! However, all they want to do is find a warm and cozy place
to have a little nap. Now on the couch under the comfy reading blanket are
mommy, daddy, two little girls and two sweet doggies. I wish my cats could join
us but the dogs will go absolutely crazy. Doesn't this sound like a little bit
of Heaven. It does to me!
The
little scenario above rarely happens at my house; but on that rare occasion
when all the snowy stars are aligned, my idea of a perfect snowy day will
actually happen - my family sitting on the couch, warm and cozy, reading our
favorite books while watching the snow fall.
That’s
why I love to read!
:) LOVE that! When it's cold and snowy out a lot of people get excited to ski or use their snow machines. I get excited to have a great excuse to snuggle up with a book :)
