READ A BOOK

I have finally read a book: The Good Life by Hugh Mackay (Australian author). 

My mother read this book in the final days of her life.  Reading it has given me some perspective as to what her thoughts may have been at the end of her life and why she thoughtfully chose to donate her body to research.

Unbelievably, I've managed to read only one book since 1984.

As a teenager, I was an avid reader and loved books.  At the age of 19, when I finished reading the novel Flowers in the Attic, little did I realise it would be a further 26 years before I would pick up another book.  Life just became too busy - working full-time, renovating houses, then raising children etc.  However, I did find time to read a book during a weekend visit to Wellington (New Zealand) in 2010.  The book was Spirit Whispers by Charmaine Wilson.

For my recent birthday, my daughters gave me the book Humans of New York by Brandon Stanton.  Although compiled mainly of pictures and photos, I think this should count as my book for the task.  And hopefully a few more to follow before the year is out.
