Read every day

I do enjoy reading, don’t get me wrong, but I get daunted by the sheer number of boos I have to read for university. It would help if I read every single day. Even if it’s a page. On the days I need to read all day or finish a book, I want to start reading [again, just even a page] the moment I wake up, before breakfast, before a shower, just to set the ball rolling. That way it become a habitual thing rather than a momentous occasion that brings fear!

The one thing I read every day is my Bible. I learn so much from it.

I’ve had a hard time sticking with it, but reading regularly may be the best cure for writer’s block, so I must get back on track!

but i’ll admit, i’ve been lacking.
my school sent out a list of books (must be 50) to read over the summer.
my goal?
to ready every one of them.

Not only do I read every day, I read for at least an hour or two every day! I got into the habit so I could finish my library books before the due date. Well, I finished all of those books and returned to another I had abandoned.

I forgot how much fun reading is until I got back into the habit. Daily reading has become a priority for me. I want to read all the books on my shelves and buy more. :)

I’m in a coffee shop, reading a book!! The House on Mango Street. Apparently, everyone read it in high school English class…. who knew? I’ve noticed that I don’t read very much when my boyfriend is around (ie: the last 2 1/2 years). Hmm…

in life!

I know that saying “read every day” can’t be listed as “done” unless I’ve set a time frame, like read every day for a year, but I’ve been doing really well at keeping this up. With summer beginning, I’ll be able to keep it up for sure, so I’m going to set some more specific reading goals.

I’ve been keeping up on my goal. I’ve finished some fantastic books lately and there is certainly something that reading gives you that television or movies don’t. I’m glad I decided to do this.

I loooove to read. Over the last several months I was struggling with depression and haven’t actually been able to get past the first few pages for a good year or so. Now that I’m doing better than I was, I want to make a conscious effort to do something I really enjoy doing and see if I can find a new place to read every month. This month I’ve started reading on a pile of pillows in my room.
