reading and writing

Already overloaded with books, I bought more this month and thoroughly enjoyed reading them.  Call it OCR — obsessive-compulsive reading (not optical character recognition, as some readers may think).  Especially worthwhile: scripture and history.  What good did it do me?  I could write a book about that!

Journal writing in three forms also occupied my time.  Most, if not all, will never catch our posterity’s attention.  Nevertheless, it helped me navigate life this month.  Is writing a lost art?  My favorite English teacher, Kay, worked hard to help it inspire her students, including me.  Her influence never ends, thank heaven!
