We can rub shoulders with the most brilliant people!
Let's talk about reading. I got turned on to reading in 9th grade. I read the Hobbit by JRR Tolkien. He expressed the story in such a vivid way, I was drawn into the story. Such a command of the English language. Then I read The Fellowship of the Ring. Unbelievably it was even better. I was hooked. Since then I have read books about the Founders of this Country. What started as a quest for knowledge, turned into inspiration. When I read a biography about George Washington, I was personally touched and inspired by a noble man. I walked away from the book thinking, no wonder they called him the Father of our country! Many books later, my thought for today is that I owe a debt of gratitude to JRR Tolkien. Thank you Mr. Tolkien. Affectionately, ds
