Reading is Delightful

Writing this Sat at 6 am. Have to get up at noon for a pahty, but tossed and turned, and finally got a book out. Still no sleepies, so brought book to kitchen for oatmeal.

And I want to say: There is something so wonderful about sitting in a quiet room in the middle of the night, reading a book, and having a snack. It's one of the greatest pleasures in the world.

I remember my mother once saying that she stayed up all night reading Princess Daisy (I think!) in our empty house the last night before moving away.

When I was in my early teens I used to illegally read my Scott O'Dell novels under the blanket, by the green light of my clock radio. Possibly I snuck in crackers.

Naturally my teen novel has just hit a twist, now making it impossible to put down! ...Life isn't perfect, but it has its' moments.
