When I was younger I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my life. What do I want to be? Now I look back and find it difficult to remember how I got here. It seems like life just passes by and I hardly notice it.
I always think of the scene in Thorton Wilder's play,
Our Town. Emily dies and goes back to a ordinary day. Everything is normal, commonplace and she realizes how beautiful it was and how special and important. She just didn't realize how meaningful every single day was till her life was over.
Libraries have always been a place of wonder for me. I always thought how wonderful they are and how great it is to have all these things for free. It is a place where anyone can come and everyone is equal. Before I entered into graduate school I had no idea how much information and resources the library has to offer. I am still amazed everytime I think about it. It makes me sad that my friends and family never use it. Maybe they don't know what it has to offer. Or they are occupied with more important things, like T.V. It also make me wonder what happened to conversation? Board games? Time to just talk...maybe I just need new friends.
I am new to this. I have never read a blog and really only discovered them a few months ago. I am currently working on my masters degree and I am writing a paper on blogs. I decided to start one and see where it takes me.
