Keeping To the Page ( revised)

  Good-morning...                                                       

                 

                                 

Sometimes  when I am reading a really good book I have succumbed to the temptation to skip to the end and find out what happens.

Not only does this lessen the desire to actually finish the book,it seems to somehow taint what I have already read thus far.

I was thinking about this recently as I contemplated the year before me, and the ones beyond- which loom almost threateningly over my head at times.
After all my youngest is eleven years old, which means there is a good probability that in less than ten years the proverbial nest will be empty. 

At times...the thought of this weighs my heart heavy with dread and uncertainty.A really, great way to ruin the story before me!

Then I remember what reading the ending before I've finished the                            book, has taught me......

After all I have very little control over HOW the AUTHOR has decided to end the story. My role is to keep to the page that I'm on ...read all that is there for me. Then when I've reached the last chapter and the mystery is no longer obscured....
 then I will revel in the story on the pages I have read.

                                                                       

                                                         

      I have been knitting... a headband, plan to do another one today.

   
reading this....   finding much I can relate to. I am thankful for people who have the gift to write stories about everyday things in a unique style...  
    

looking at this....
