well this week staff asked us girls to write a blog about what we are grateful for. Where can I begin? I am grateful for so many things. As a matter of fact a few years ago I wrote a blog about what we were thankful for and it was featured on the front page. I am still thankful for my MS medication and current doctors but I getting ready to lay down and read and realized WHOA this is what I am thankful for. I am grateful for books. I mean books can take you anywhere you want to go right and sometimes places you don't want to go right?? I am like a kid in the candy store when I go to the book store/library. I own a decent collection of books. One day I would like a really nice bookshelf but now I only have two IKEA bookshelves that I paid 75 bucks for a piece. I really need a third because my bookshelves are way overflowing and I still have a whole big plastic bin left of just books at my Mom's house she is letting me store there. One day Ill own a really nice bookshelf.
I loved reading as a kid. I was reading at a third grade level when I was three. I adored Sesame Street. I tested out in the top 5 percentile in reading and writing on my SATs. I won a French children story citywide contest in High School. HAHAHA I wish I had pictures of it. It was illustrated with magazine pictures I cut out and glued because I can't draw a lick. It was about a pig (or cochon in French) who didn't want to get slaughtered by the farmer and the farmer's wife. So he goes on a diet and exercises. He gets in shape so they don't want to eat him. Yea very riveting I know.
SO kids reading is awesome.
sorry for the short blog BUT I wanna get back to reading my book!! :P
