I love when I read a book that as a writer causes me to think about the little details in my life. It's refreshing because if you ask me how I am doing, I will give an automatic response of something along the lines of "Same ol same ol." or "Just working." But there is a lot more to my day that goes unrecognized when you just don't take the time to think about it.
Its simple things like turning the page of a book you are reading and slowly letting your mind devour the words on the next page. Its something you often overlook and don't think about but it truly is more than "same ol" stuff because you are enriching your mind and traveling away from your own space into another.
My days are consumed with work, reports, calls, discussions and issues. And then I get to go home and feel the albeit hot wind on my face, the sunlight on my skin and the knowledge that I am alive. I am able to greet my dog with love and watch her rejoice at my home coming. I'm able to feel the softness of my cat's fur as she rubs her face against my hand for affection and feel the love from these animals.
Life is busy. It's complicated. And finding a book that puts details into daily activities makes me remember to put the details back into my life and remember that I am alive. And I am somebody.
Also... I'm back - Ish.
