"I have sought peace everywhere, and found it only with a book, in a nook."
-- Thomas à Kempis
There is something to be said for relaxing and reading a good book. The joy of reading after a long, stressful day brings a sense of peace and tranquility to our otherwise busy lives. It allows us to step into another world melting stress away and calming the mind. In fact, studies have shown that reading even six minutes can reduce stress levels by more than two-thirds!
I've recently been rediscovering the joy and relaxation of reading after I received Barnes & Noble's NOOK GlowLight Plus! I had truly forgotten how relaxing reading can be, and now unwinding in the evenings with a good book has become an evening ritual. My evening routine used to consist of preparing dinner, cleaning-up, doing laundry, and running errands, if necessary. Then I would surf the web until I couldn't keep my eyes open any more and head off to bed. Sure, surfing the web may sound somewhat relaxing, but I always end up checking my work email. See, I said "work." The sad thing is, it wasn't until I received my NOOK GlowLight Plus, that I realized my downtime wasn't very relaxing!
