A break at last, sweet solitude to now find comfort in my nook that's bright and cozy, quiet too; just me with an intriguing book. A cozy corner- left alone in my porch chair and outdoor view of rolling hills and swaying trees; a book in hand to start anew. A sweet love story with a plot to take me to the land of youth; entwined in webs of their young lives, absorbed with fiction or the truth. Perhaps a covert thriller type too difficult to figure out, will bring suspense until the end, and hold me bound without a doubt. Or maybe one's biography to teach, inspire me, and learn how someone famous led a life for all to read and then discern. A break at last, sweet solitude- relaxing with great thoughts to read; just me with an intriguing book- a special gift of life indeed.

A lovely write, Sandra, about a subject that once was a great love of mine. I'm afraid the older I get the less interest I find in reading. Those intensely great fantasies I once shared with my books seem to have become beyond my reach as I have been thrust more and more into the realities of life.
