I have a confession to make

If you aren't seated you might want to be. You sitting down? On something with a back? This is going to be a big shock to many of you. You ready? Here goes...

I can't read.

You read that right. I am incapable of picking up a book and deciphering symbols into words in the English Language.

I've tried, Lord knows I have tried. I've spent almost six months painstakingly working my way through a single book. Whenever I open it I am very quickly forced to abandon my efforts due to the words jumping sporadically, or perhaps they become blurry in with gray, red or tri-color.

I have the same problems when I use a computer. It's not as often, but it happens enough that I feel uncomfortable trying to process a lot of information from it.

Maybe I should just close the door and make the animals stay in a separate room when I have a book in my hands. Or perhaps read standing up. Or I might just use recorded books.

One way or another, Charlie, Monty and Misty are not going to stop me from finishing the Wheel of Time book I am working on.

But they have hindered my speed a bit.

God bless and see you soon,

Joelle
