Alessandra is reading…

Read slowly, enjoy the moments in front of you – this is my current mantra.

I’ve been reading this book for a few days – I’m on page 55, whereas just a couple weeks ago I’d have read those first 55 pages the night I opened the book. I’m reading much slower than I have in a while…and enjoying all the memories my boyfriend and I are creating with these two.

I knew life would change so much with a puppy, which is why I pushed myself so much with reading before he arrived. And why I’m not only reading in my spare time now – I make reading fit into the dogs’ schedule because that’s how life is.

And I’m not worried about when the next time is that I’ll be able to read a lot will be – I’ve worried about that in the past. Because I know that time will come, I will eventually be at the point where I’ll have hours to read (or maybe just a spare one.)

Read on and enjoy making the memories.
