22/30 Words - TOTW - a photo on Flickriver

First of all, Happy Thanksgiving to all our U.S. Flickerites!

Today I'm grateful for words. I learned to read at the age of four, and it opened the world to me. We lived on a tiny island lighthouse, so my contact with the world was largely through books. Every month, we would receive a trunk full of books from the Victoria Public Library. We would devour them and send them back when the next month's trunk arrived. Words have always been important in my family. My great grandfather wrote several books; my grandfather kept elaborate diaries; my father read voraciously, and we all played word games. I make my living as a writer, and my partner and step-kids are all word people. Words are the bomb diggity!

The photo shows just one of the many clusters of books in my house. I have baskets, many shelves, and even a closet full of books. It amazes me that 26 letters can be crafted into so many words, so many stories, so many descriptions of far-away places.

For Theme of the Week (this week's theme: Gratitude), and the groups Grateful Daze and Gratitude Project, for which I'm attempting to post, for the month of November, a daily photo of something for which I'm grateful.
