Today is October 1st! As I mentioned in my previous article, I wanted to share the little joys in life and what I look forward to this Autumn season. So here is #1.

Reading is one of my favorite things to do when I have time to relax and clear my mind. I mentioned that I’m a reader in my article “Expanding My Knowledge.” I do read books to expand my knowledge but not the only reason why I read. I read because it helps relax my mind and allows me to let go of all my thoughts and worries that rush through my mind. It allows me to escape reality for a bit and dive into someone else’s life. I also like to take notes when I read. I used sticky notes in the past but there was never room to fit all my notes, quotes, or ideas. So, I switched to a journal. I use “My Fall Collection Journals.” It allows me to write all my notes in a beautiful themed journal. It has 100 sheets (200 pages), plenty of room to store my notes.

Reading is enjoyable. I always look forward to the time I’m able to relax and read and of course have a cup of coffee (decaf because I do all my reading at night.)

If you enjoy reading, please share if you’re a nonfictional or fictional reader and share what books you read and books you plan to read this fall in the comments below. I would love to hear from you! Let’s continue to spread this Autumn season!
