Chapter Book

I heard a discussion on the radio about reading books.  One person commented that he had not read a book since early childhood.  The other host asked if it was a kid book or a real book…you know a chapter book.  Having read quite a few books prior to writing mine, I totally get the question.  Some books read like one long run on sentence.  One capital letter starts it, and it ends sometime later with a period.  I’ve observed people that treat their lives like a run on sentence.  They seldom take the time to observe, reflect, or learn from a chapter in life or set of events prior to rolling right into something else.    

Breaks are a necessary part of this process called life.  We need the breaks to reflect on the chapter of life we just completed.  Whether is it beginning/ending a relationship or a job, we need the break to ensure we do not carry the same stuff forward to the next chapter.  Skipping the break/reflection typically leads to repeating the same thing over and over.  There we are back at that definition of insanity, “doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result.”

How do you see your life?  Does it look like one long run on sentence or a chapter book?  Remember, you are the author of your life.
