I'd Rather Read

For I don't know how long, I have been addicted to playing "Words with Friends" and have accepted their challenges.  And have tried to complete the challenges.   And, I knew that as I did so, I was not attending to other interests in my life.  I justified it by thinking that sharpening my word skills was a valid endeavor. And it is.

But, I realized that playing "Words with Friends" limited my other activities.  Most recently, I have started reading again instead of playing "Words with Friends", and I realized how much more meaningful reading is to me, than playing "Words with Friends." It is not that I will not play, it is just that I will play on my own time frame, and not to complete  a challenge or otherwise be co-opted  into playing when I have better things to do.
