Read Back

What book are you reading right now? – So asks the daily prompt.

7 Steps to a Pain Free Life by Robin McKenzie. My better half picked it up to help with my back issues. Very kind of her. It was recommended by my best friend’s sister. Thanks to both.

I’ve got to become a more active reader of books. Sitting on a porch like this on a warm summer day overlooking the beach is a nice perch for reading.

Sun, feet up, great view.

Reading Goals

I’m constantly falling behind on my reading goals. Just keeping up with blogs I like and discovering new ones seems to be a challenge. And finding time to write a few lines with a new image or two is tough some days with life getting in the way often.

I’m not what most would consider well read. I do keep up with current events and history. I read a good bit about my hobbies and sports as well as a few other topics. But I’ve discovered the more I read the more I enjoy it.

Unfortunately, I enjoy a lot of things, so it’s been tough to expand the time for more. My better half reads up a storm. She polishes off books like I polish my car, often and with veracity.

Well, it’s better to have too many goals than too few. So let me go read up on proper firepit use before I burn something down.

Ready, set, read

I’ve gotten into reading more lately. My better half just got me a book from the library that I need to motor through.

So, I guess I should pull up a fence like this couple and get started.

  • Thanks to my better half, my children and grandchildren for making this a great Father’s Day.
  • I feel like I should say a lot of important things soon.
  • Tomorrow I teach art class. I’m also a student.
