reading about reading

A few weeks ago I found myself reading lots of blogs about reading. I enjoy following many blogs, but I was browsing through all the millions of book blogs out there. Then I realized what was happening. I was feeling very busy with everything and was not picking up my own books very often. I was feeling book deprived so I turned to the internet to read about other people reading. When I realized this I was able to decrease my computer reading time and starting reading MY own books. Then I felt much better.

A similar thing happened to me right after I had Max concerning quilts. In the space of about 2 months I bought fabric to make 3 different quilts. I felt discouraged about quilting and overwhelmed with the new baby. I realized I was buying quilts because I never had any time to quilt. So then I decided instead of spending my tiny free time buying quilts I would actually use the time to quilt. I felt much better and saved money also!
