Finding Time to Read January Edition

Finding Time to ReadJanuary Edition 

The holidays are over.  Maybe you or your kids aren’t back in school quite yet, but it’s January 2^nd.  No more Christmas parties, no more rushing around buying last minute presents, and no more driving 16 hours home from Christmas skiing in Colorado (it’s so far away!)

The hustle and bustle is starting to slow down, and you have to think about integrating yourself back in your normal life and normal routines.

It’s a great time to slow down and find a spare moment to read.  Read something interesting or something that you’ve been looking forward to, or something you keep hearing about. 

Or maybe you’ve made a New Year’s resolution to read more.  Maybe you’ve made a goal like I have.  Well, it’s time to get started!
