Reading

What is it about reading that takes you away.  I was wishing I could not think for awhile.  Then the book I'm reading jogged my thoughts.  I guess it was a form of not thinking.  Not thinking about what is bothering me.  Just letting the story take me out of it.  Reading is my way of forgetting about certain problems.  Sometimes the solution comes to me while I'm reading.  Good way to move on with your life.  I know I need to read more.  The past few days have made me realize this.  I let my reading habit lapse.  Reading is my thought process.  Reading filters out all of the junk.  Reading brings knowledge, relaxation, joy, peace and calm.
