Slice of Life - The Best Days...



The Best Days...

Sometimes,
The best days
Are the days filled with
Nothing.

No rushing,
No working,
No have to
Or
Must do.
Nothing.

The best days involve
Waking.
Wandering.
Pondering.
And, of course,
Reading.

Lazing the day away
Reading.
Light changing,
Shifting across the room.
Contemplating getting up.
Realizing
You don’t have to.

Finishing an entire book,
A wonderful book,
A perfectly fabulous book,
In one sitting.

These are the best days.


If you’d like to know more about Laurel Snyder’s new book, the wonderfully fabulous Seven Stories Up, please check out her post on Nerdy Book Club today (HERE). Then run out and buy a copy. It comes out today and you will want this for your classroom library. Trust me.
