Thank you for reminding me of reading as salvation. It makes me think of books that have provided me with salvation at different times in my life and for different reasons.
Thank you, Donalyn, for your honesty! I have experienced the same issues with reading less and an inability to focus for long. I am trying to read shorter, lighter books to slide back into my former (better)reading habits. I think we just have to give ourselves grace (something I am not good at). Best of luck on your reading journey.
After a hectic but thoroughly enjoyable day with students from kindergarten, to first, fourth, and first with a handful of sixth grade lunchtime assistants thrown in, I found myself this evening feeling true peace when reading your musings. I turned the news off and for the first time ever, I am reading three different books at the same time, toggling between them depending on my mood. Thank you for your wisdom, Donalyn.

I always worry about being a “conversational narcissist” too! Ha
