Good Distractions
I have always been a reader. Whenever my parents and I would go to the mall or some kind of store that had a book section (like Woolworth’s), you would find me sitting in the aisle reading. The library was a weekly destination. I’m also a repeat reader. I really like to re-read books. It’s like having a group of friends that you can visit. Books continue to be good distractions for what’s happening in real life.
The downside of books is that they take up space. I have a basement that’s full of storage bins of books. There’s just not enough shelf space to include it all. As a result, new purchases are made electronically.
My more recent reads include:
a re-read of A Wrinkle in Time (something that I read when I was in elementary/middle school!) and I CAN NOT wait until the movie comes out in March!
I watched a lot of HGTV last year and I was intrigued about the story of Chip and Joanna Gaines so I succumbed to purchasing their book. It was a quick and funny read.
Instead of binge watching tv, I like to binge read. I have been known to devour a book series pretty quickly so when Kevin Kwan released his 3rd book, Rich People Problems, I needed to catch up with the series and also read China Rich Girlfriend.
When I’m under a lot of work stress, I like to read something totally different from my life so that I can have a form of escapism. The Harry Potter series saved me during many presidential elections. The world of wizards and wands was the perfect place for me to end my day.
What good distractions do you have in your life?
