Reading vs Shopping
Twenty days before Christmas. Twenty days to shop for gifts, write cards, plan menus, deliver gifts, attend holiday parties, do kind deeds. Just twenty days! And no time to read! NOW HEED THIS: “ No matter how busy you may think you are, you must find time for reading, or surrender yourself to self-chosen ignorance. ” - Confucius
How can I solve this dilemma? I read the cards for their joyous messages for the season. I buy books for gifts more than I used to and every time I buy a book, I sample at least two chapters, I scour cooking tomes for the simplest recipes while observing complex French dish recipes. I research inspirational holiday messages for cocktail patter for my parties. I listen to books on tape as I deliver my gifts. I read to children when I can capture their attention. I want to ward off the concept of self-chosen ignorance mentioned by Confucius. In other words, I make an additional effort to read. I'm a writer, an author, and in order to continue to write, I must read.
