To all my readers who are mothers, Happy Mother’s Day! We’re busy at the Hood Household getting ready for three different celebrations. My wife (a mother of four), then a lunch at my mom’s, and finally a dinner at my mother-in-laws. It’s a big day, but one I’m looking forward to living.
Even though I want to give these women 100% of my attention, it’s possible to find a few minutes to read. But is reading really that important? Should I even be thinking of books on a day like today? Yes, and here’s why.
Everyday is busy, and if I give myself latitude, can find a million excuses for why I’m too “slammed” to read. But I don’t want to live that way. Books are important to me, and so I’m going to find a way to read. It doesn’t have to be long, but if I skip today I’ll fall slightly out of my habit. That’s why I start reading first thing in the morning. Now, with my reading finished, I can give my full attention to Mother’s Day and spend time with people I love.
Until tomorrow, read slowly – take notes – apply the ideas.
