Treat yourself

As I sit at my desk, pausing ocassionally to look around the room, I see music and books. I have lots of music--I have a couple of degrees in music. I also have a lot of books.

Treat yourself! Go to your library. If you don't have a library card, apply for one. If you have a library card...what are you waiting for? Use it! If you can't get to your library, pick up the phone and call. Ask if your library has a website. Make a note of the web address.

Many libraries have their catalog online. Larger libraries will mail books and other materials to patrons. Browse the catalog and choose a book. Enjoy.

Reading requires discipline. Set aside time each day to read. It can be as little as 15 minutes a day. It's a good habit to get into. I'm a big reader. I always have a book going. I don't always read every day, but I always intend to.

Reading is a diversion that lets you forget the stresses of the day and just let your mind wander through the pages.
