Who needs to read less?
My goal in 2022 is to read less and connect with people more! I love reading and always have. I wish I had a complete list of all of the books that I have read over my life. Goodreads is a wonderful way I now use to track books that I want to read, am currently reading, and have read. They also encourage people to set yearly reading challenges. In 2021, I set my reading challenge at 36 books, or around 3 books a month. With the pandemic, I spent a lot of time reading and surpassed my 36 yearly book goal by 87 books. I read 123 during 2021, which in theory maybe sounds like a positive thing, but I realized instead that I spent too much time alone reading during 2021 and even in 2020 with 88 books read. Before COVID-19 in 2019, I read 18 books and 20 in 2018, so my goal for 2022 is 36 books. When I reach my 3 books each month, I want to stop reading and reach out to others to meet in person, Zoom, or talk on the phone with family and friends. This might be hard since I have already read 3 books in January even though it is only January 24th and have a whole week left. Wish me luck, and share any unusual goals that you have for this year!

All through my day, no matter where I go, or what I do, I am always looking for the good in people, in the world, in my life or even just in my day.

While it is easy to focus on the negative aspects of life, I choose to continue looking for the good in people and in the world around me, and I want to share why they do what they do. I am the proud mother of three adult daughters and live in the Chicago area. I have worked in the Early Childhood Education field since 2001, and I write books when the inspiration comes.
