Tonight, I will be heading to the local library for a Book Tasting. There will be a rolling cart with various books to try reading, We'll each select one book to read for a few minutes, to see if we like to continue reading it, and when a buzzer goes off, we will write a short review of the book, then select another book to "taste". There will be food available for munching, and friends to enjoy the evening with. I think it will be a lot of fun. I'm usually rushed when I look for books to check out, so I'm hoping to be able to really enjoy reading for a while without feeling rushed.
Our book club selects a different book each month, and we discuss it a couple of times a month, then choose another book. We meet every other week. I've been a member for a couple of months now and while I don't always like the books that have been selected, I am game to read them and try to offer my review of the books.
My husband says I'm turning into a "hermit", because I often decline to attend the grandkids school events due to physical limitations since my surgeries in the past two decades. This is one of the non-family events that I am enjoying. I also enjoy my art club, even though I have been president for over 20 years! They won't let me quit. One day, I'll have to retire from that, because with my visual deficits, it's becoming very hard for me to do much art or to use my eyes for anything. I had to quit driving in the past couple of years due to it.
Oh well, such is life. I'll enjoy what I can while I can. Then I'll have a lot of good memories of what I'm doing now.
Thank God for all my blessings.
