The power of an hour's reading

"I've never known any trouble than an hour's reading didn't assuage" -Arthur Schopenhaur

I do find that reading something when I'm worried or upset does help me feel better. Whether it's reading a short poem or a saying or something funny,  it does help me. Although it won't solve all my problems, having a distraction to take me a way from a problem for a few minutes helped me focus more when I came back to the problem at hand. Plus, if I found something to read that was related to the problem I faced, then it helped give me new perspective. I'd encourage reading whenever possible, especially in times of difficulty as an escape and as a potential bringer of solutions to problems.  Regardless of whether you're facing a problem, I send you best wishes now and always.
