Has my life changed since I have made time to read?

First I feel as if I need to say that under normal circumstances I absolutely love reading.  It actually relaxes me. It offers an escape from my every day life but this reading and blogging experience has been a difficult experience for me. It seemed as if I had to force myself to take the time to read anything. I honestly just didn’t have the time or energy to do it but I did it anyways for this class. Of course I read books that I thought would help me at the stage of life that I am currently in. With a new baby to take care of and a busy two year old my life has been changed upside down in the last couple of months. I still really love reading but I just didn’t enjoy it when I felt forced to do it on a weekly basis. Now that I am getting used to the changes in my life I now realize that I have to take time for myself or I won’t be a happy and healthy mother. I am now going to make a conscious effort to take time to read for pleasure even if it isn’t once a week. Whenever I get the chance to pick up a book I will.
