There are times for everyone when we need some place to be that is safe and lets us escape from reality for just a bit. It’s a place we can depend on, always at hand and easy to reach, where we can settle in and take a short break from stress or worry of any kind. That place is a book.
Behind each book is an author. I’ve thought many times of my favorite writers and how I appreciate the time they’ve taken to put on paper the words that I so enjoy. Sometimes, I write a short note to them just to say thank you.
Where would you or I be without books and the love of reading? The world would not be nearly as lovely.
If something I write brightens someone’s day or re-kindles a bit of hope, my writing is not in vain. In fact, it’s a privilege.
A safe place, an adventure, a moment of relaxation–that’s what books are to me. And, I’m happy about that.
