Most people do not realize that the gift of reading is a marvelous present to have in life. Reading is necessary in our everyday lives but besides that it is wonderful to have the ability to read. When we first learned to read we felt so proud. Over time as we progressed it truly became the gift of reading. We could even read a bedtime story once in a while rather than our parent. What I love about reading is that it opens new doors. You can travel and see the world right from your home. You can deepen your imagination and think about new and exciting ideas and places. It broadens your horizons. How many businesses have been started just by reading and learning new skills? How many cures for diseases have evolved from the gift of reading? The curious scientists have to do a great deal of research just to even begin. It is really facinating as often the researchers will find an answer that others may have worked on without results. Reading is important to us in our everyday lives. If a person is prescribed a medicine or treatment, the best thing they can do is to research the pros and cons. It helps us to make the correct decision. I have many old books that give me the chance to see what life was like decades ago. My late husband and I used to go to a shop in an apple orchard in Massachusetts. We would buy used books and of course, my children would select candy. It was a good strategy to sell items. I still have those books today. Over the years as history has been rewritten it is nice to discover what when on prior to the changes. How do you feel about the gift of reading?
