Where I find sanity

A friend of mine recently posted a blog post about how her life was too cluttered and she needed to eliminate some activities from her schedule. She then listed all of the activities she could possibly eliminate and explained why she was or was not keeping each on her calendar. She decided to cross out book club and keep her weekly day of scrapbooking. I was struck by this decision. Everyone finds sanity in different things. When my life got crazy, I dropped the scrapbooking habit. Well, the paper scraping habit. I've never regretted it. But, I can't imagine dropping book club. Reading and talking to my friends about reading keeps my brain alive and sane. I love it. I'm so grateful to have it in my life.
