Sometimes You Have To Read Between The Lines

---

This old gal…

Is drawn to books…like a magnet…doesn’t matter where…or when…or how many are waiting for their turn at home…the pull…is always there…

Menards…again for the win…the display…a masterpiece…wanted to soak it in…run a hand…over the colorful spines…

Moved on…ignoring the pull…and there it was…an oddity…standing out…not fitting in…the cover green…unique fabric…the title stark…

Cabin…was spectacular…its simplicity…its boldness…made book lover me want to buy it…read it…and heck yea…escape to the woods…and live…off nature…

Came back to reality…at a thrift shop later….completing instead…that Harry Potter collection…the search starting a year ago…at the behest…of those daughters of mine…

And so it is…during each chapter in life…there will be days…to stand out in a crowd…draw attention…be unique…and there will be others…when success will be found…by working together…being part of a team…

Sometimes you just have to read between the lines…to find which way…is best…
​
And those daughters of mine…agree…
