I didn’t set any specific reading goals for 2022. I don’t need the motivation to keep up with my reading. I did decide to focus on writing consistently. I started the new yearout by putting specific writing goals in my calendar for each day of January. So far, this is proving to be more effective for me than just planning on a set amount of time or number of words. I did not get to poetry writing on Saturday, so I decided to incorporate it into today’s blog post, which was going to be about the trials of completing daily tasks when you really just want to read your book.

A Day in the Life of a Reader

The alarm rings at six

Breakfast I must fix

The whole time I cook

I’d rather be reading my book

But off to work I go

Driving through the snow

For black ice I look

When I could be reading my book

Lessons to teach

and young minds to reach

The patience it took!

When I could be reading my book

After school, a faculty meeting

Another initiative we’ll be leading

In disbelief our heads all shook

When I could be reading my book

At home I make dinner

This new recipe was a winner

But so much time it took

When I could be reading my book

Finally the dishes are done

Now I can have fun

I go up to my nook

At last I can read my book
