Breathing in Time and Space

Summer is my upper.  I've been enjoying time with my family, warm (ish) days by the pool, playing outside until it's dark.  I'm up.  I feel very up.  I've also been taking time to indulge one of my great loves -- reading.  Recently, I've read Carry On Warrior by Glennon Doyle Melton (more on this) Operating Instructions by Anne Lamott, The Girl On the Train, and repeatedly fell asleep to You are Here: A Portable History of the Universe.  I've learned a lot of things from these books.  My favorite beyond favorite book I've read in a long, long time is Carry On Warrior.  Like go out and buy this book NOW.  Melton, with whom I agree on almost everything, wrote, "reading is my inhale and writing is my exhale."  Well said.  After a long slow breath in, I need the release of writing.
