Day 6
Hey Y'all
Today my blessing is being able to read.
I often take for granted what so many are not able to do.
In the store I work in there are 2 men in their early 50's that cannot read.
Well just 2 that I know about...
It breaks my heart.
They never had anyone in their lives when they were young to teach them.
They went through school and were just pushed along, no one took the time.
Now they are afraid to even try.
I am so very blessed that I had teachers and parents who took time with me.
My mom and dad instilled in us very early; the love of the written word, for that I will be ever grateful.
I LOVE to read, and thank God there are creative and talented people on this earth that were blessed with the ability to tell a story.
These amazing men and women can take me out of my car, bed, chair etc... and transport me into a world they created, I love it.
I get so wrapped up in a good book I can tune out everything around me, I can see and feel the environment
they create, The characters sweep me away.
