How often do you read outside? It’s a pretty regular routine to read a few or even several books when lounging for a week or weekend on the beach or boat. Reading goes great with relaxing. It might even be the best way to relax.

Growing up I was always reading. My favorite spot was on our roof behind a window that just blocked the Sun from burning me to a crisp. (My dad was displeased, and just certain I was tearing up his roof)

I read so much, that I’d pick up a book on the dugout bench after coming in from playing defense, and awaiting my turn to bat. In class, I never participated in class discussion because I was always reading ahead in the text book, or sneaking a few extra pages in a novel.

I’d be at a party, and sit reading while everyone else was visiting. People thought I was shy. Might be a little introverted, but if ya know me you know I ain’t shy.

Reading is great, and finding a place to escape the rest of the world for some “me time” is probably the healthiest thing we can do. Where do you go to get away or read?
