ANNOUNCEMENT:

It's okay to not finish reading a book.

It really is.

I'm probably announcing this more to myself than to anyone else. It's a recent decision I've made for myself. I think the decision comes from a place of maturity? Age? Maybe both. Also, my word for 2022, ACCEPTANCE, played a role.

Fist, the pandemic changed my thinking on a lot of things. Basically, it helped me adopt a "life's to Read more of this blog post »
