I decided that I should open my eyes to the blessings that God has given me so I'm going to try to do post 100 things I'm thankful for...one at a time or a few at a time.
Books
It wasn't until Memorial Day weekend when I had forgotten the joys of reading a good ol' book that wasn't a textbook, required reading, or the Bible (don't get me wrong. I love the Bible!). I forgot how exciting it is to read a good fiction novel. It's a movie in your head. You can imagine what the characters, setting, and circumstances looked like. Only within those pages can you put yourself in someone else's shoes anywhere and anytime in the world. Movies are nice but can only go so far. Books still win over movies in the fact that the authors can help you understand the thought process of each character. Every word, every eye glance, every movement, every location, every time of the day has meaning to it. In movies...it's really hard to catch those things if you're not paying careful attention.
