Freewrite Day 613 Library
I was a big library user for most of my life. My dad used to take me when I was young. No matter where we moved, we got to the library as soon as we were settled in. Neither my brother or mom were interested, so this was a thing I got to do alone with my dad. He traveled a lot, but if we were both home on a Saturday, we were going to the library.
Later, again no matter where I moved, I would get a library card as soon as I could. I used to have a big collection of those cards, but who knows where I lost that.
In some places, I would end up introducing people to their hometown library where they had never been. Or maybe I would take someone’s kids there for the first time in their lives. I used to be surprised that other people would not take advantage of free books to read.
Libraries are all the same and all different. In most places they would have a section of local books that you would not be able to find anywhere else. I would read those to find out about where I was in the world.
But in the last ten years or so, I have stopped reading books at all. I can’t hold them anymore with my bad arthritic hands, or read small print without reading glasses. It’s kind of odd for me, but I have adjusted.
Now I listen to podcasts or pdf’s I download and let the computer read to me. Luckily technology came along to save the day so I can still keep reading in a different way.
My post is for the #freewrite daily challenge by @mariannewest. Freewrite is a great way to post on steemit when you do not think you have the time, or talent, or anything to say. It’s a great way to start regular posting on steemit. I know you can do this too! Here is Marianne’s freewrite prompt post for today. Give it a try and surprise yourself.

I lost "Half My Size" eight years ago by using natural methods. No tricks, just doing a bit better every day. I started on October 10 one year, and did not give up. Four years later, on October 5th, there I was - thin and healthy for the first time in my life. You can do it too!

I'm now, minus the toxic breast implants and i was actually 20 pounds heavier. It took 4 years but i did it. it's not easy but it's all common sense. eat less, move more; shop organic, not Monsanto (weight-loss is a multi-billion dollar industry, GMO clogs up your system And metabolism) and no box foods; processed. i basically eat kinda keto but i get carbs from veggies and fruits. i have a huge dark purple and green leaved salad daily. it's a real multivitamin compared to the fake stuff they try to put in pill form... sorry I know i went off topic to your free write but I'm just so amazed at your weight loss!!!!! also, alcohol inhibits your body from releasing fat cells for the next 48 hours after drinking, that's why drinkers have issues losing weight sometimes. When I was on my journey I'd enjoy drinking on weekends, i never loss those times. so alcohol is definitely something that will not let you lose fat cells. nuts huh? and that's what they make legal. the drug that puts health issues and cause a myriad of deaths a year, is legal..of course, money money money.... oh and i miss the old libraries. where you could go through card catalogs. it was a process i enjoyed. it's a googlebrary today... sad
Wow! Thank you for sharing this info and pics. It's so helpful for me to see others succeed in health and weight loss. I stopped drinking at all when I was losing and that helped a lot. I often work with people where drinking interferes.
I agree with all of your tactics. Good for you to catch it while young. Thank you so much for this inspiration today, @prettynicevideo :)
@fitinfun, Nowadays many Libraries are empty because world is Transforming into Virtual Realm from Physical Realm. Good know your Library stories. Stay blessed.

Yes, i can remember them being packed when I was young. Things have sure changed now.
Definitely times changed and most importantly now for us it's reflecting as for any aspect of work time is becoming short and short and life became so fast. Stay blessed.

That was nice for you and your dad to go to the library together. I never did read but when I was in high school a bunch of us used to get together at the library to do homework. Hope you are felling better. : )

Same here it is hard to sit and hold a book since years. Now I try a bit reading again just a few sites.
I found out there is a "read-aloud" feature on some pdf's. The guy's voice is perfect to fall asleep with :)
At the moment I have no problem with falling asleep, if.. any good story teller does so. 😁
