Thankful Thursday

I was thinking. Yeah, it wasn't pleasant, but I needed to start doing that again. While I was thinking, I recalled a moment from high school. A cool moment.

My 'Reading' teacher, Mr. Harvey (originator of the walrus mustache), assigned a book to the class. Required reading. Yeah, we all know what that means... something boring and bad. But since I had to write a report about the book, I thought I should read it.

And I did. Fast. I loved the book. Amazing.



Though I read that book over 25 years ago, I still remember so much about it. Probably because I was so shocked that I loved it so much. I still wonder if the girl found a safe place to live.

It just goes to show, you can't judge a book by who forcing you to read it.

Can you think of a book you were forced to read... and were pleasantly surprised by how much you enjoyed it?

1.) I'm THANKFUL that they don't make anymore of those Airplane/Naked Gun movies. I mean, I loved those films, but I can pretty much guarantee they'd use this bit if they were making a new one.

A group of important government officials are gathered around a conference table. Something horribly wrong is taking place in world. The President of the United States struts into the room. Everyone stands, waiting to be brought up to speed.

The President says, "Okay, people. Here's the situation." He points to the door and this guy strolls into the room.




2. I'm THANKFUL that a few good friends will take up their valuable free time to read a manuscript that just might suck. So THANK YOU (you know who you are).

3. I'm THANKFUL I was never this stupid.
