Hello mothers! One of my favorite pass times is reading. Reading takes me to an entirely different world. Finding a good novel, regardless of the genre can be challenging at times. I personally love reading thrillers and love stories. When I start reading a book, I usually carry it with me everywhere. Any chance I get, even if it’s 5 minute I’ll pull out the book and read a couple of pages. I also enjoy reading books electronically. They’re convenient and usually less expensive than a paperback or hard cover book. The nice thing about an electronic book (e-book), is that you can read it from any device when you have certain apps. Usually I’ll begin reading on my tablet and when I’m out and have a moment, I’ll pick it up the book from where I left off on my phone.
I do understand finding that time for yourself is difficult, regardless of how old your children are. But, it is extremely important to give ourselves that time, if not everyday but at least a couple of times a week. I’m not able to set a schedule to read everyday, but I carry my book everywhere with me, whether it’s a hard book or e-book, because I never know when I may have a quick opportunity to read a page. Reading can create a sense of peace, relaxation…unless you’re reading a thriller or horror book. Either way, it’s a way to escape the real world for a few moments, breathe and enjoy that time for yourself.
