Day 24: Literacy

If you know me well you know how much I love to read and how much I read! In fact, if you didn't know, I post my bookshelf once a month and what I thought of the books I read for that month.  You can check that out here.
Anyway.
*Today* (a day late on the whole daily thing but yesterday I was WIPED out, no energy to even get online) I am so grateful for not just my literacy but the literacy of others. What a true gift to yourself to be able to write and read. When I think of those who have been denied this privilege I feel sad for them because it's not just for pleasure that one should know how to write and read but it is fro a future.
In fact, as I thought more about it I decided that instead of just feel sad for those who can't write and read why not help them?  Why not share my gratitude and help someone else learn?  So I'm pursuing volunteering in my area to help introduce someone else to literacy.
What can you do with your gratefulness today? Is there a way you can share it?

And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term.  We all have a part to play. Read a Road Map Day One of the many reasons I would stink at The Amazing Race is because I never did learn how to read a road map well.  I remember doing worksheets and class lessons on maps and I was able to skate by to pa
