Reading & writing are foundational - we all had to learn them.  They are essential for critical thinking, learning, engaging & effective communication.  In my opinion, those that don't take the time to read are missing the ability to experience different lives, cultures & times.  You may even end up with stagnant thinking & a very narrow view of things.  I like to read all kinds of different books - I read fiction, non-fiction, christian living, autobiographies, devotionals, health & wellness, gardening, cookbooks, etc.... I love looking at magazines... my husband & I still like to stand & browse through the magazine & book section of the grocery store.  The selection is getting slimmer though, but there's still nothing like the feel of a book or magazine in your fingers and the smell of the paper... ahhhh I love it!  A couple times a year we travel a few hours from our home, to a beautiful christian bookstore and I can spend hours browsing and soaking in the atmosphere... the books, the decor... the cards, bibles, bookmarks... I used to work at a christian book store, and sadly the online market was its demise... cause I would have retired there.  

I ask you this... have you picked up a book lately? Or how about a pen & paper? Maybe you like to write, or journal? I like to do that as well.  I wish I had more time to do this.  Sadly that is all of our excuses these days... we put everything off... fitness, reading, writing, self care.... I think we should take more time for these things, broaden our horizons a little.

If I can suggest something...search out a little hole in the wall book store & coffee shop & become engrossed... you just might enjoy it!
