Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day to all of you who are mothers! I am not a mother and my own mother passed away many years ago. So,…..I don’t share in the holiday.

I saw that our question for this week is, “What is the worst book you’ve ever read?” Well, all I can say is that if I start reading a book and it doesn’t hold my attention or is really bad I just stop reading it. I love to read, but I don’t usually read science fiction or biographies or history. I prefer suspense and murder mysteries and fiction that can be humorous or romantic. I also like cookbooks and poetry and inspirational reading. 

We had a beautiful day today. It is a little windy though.  I went to a local park and walked around. It was very relaxing. Quite a few people were walking dogs or jogging. Only encountered one person on a bicycle. They speed by so fast it can be frightening.

Reading Books

It is that moment

when the pages grab you,

hands on your shoulders

you are lifted

into the pages

and through

a magic wardrobe

into otherworlds

or travel

through time

and find youself

with Noah

heat of the sun on your face

feet burned by desert sand

helping to build the ark,

gather the animals

or chasing along

the streets of Trenton, New Jersey

with a bounty hunter

or discovering love

on a dune

at the beach

beneath the soft light

of a full moon.
