My life has been more than a little crazy lately, so I am pretty sure that I am the last person in the world to start reading The Help. I actually bought it back in December or January. Everyone was so excited that the movie was coming out on DVD/Blu-Ray. I didn't want to see the movie until I read the book. I ended up seeing parts of it at my sister-in-law's house. I never quite got the book started. It feels weird to read a book in paperback now that I own a Kindle. What has the world come to that we are so digitized that we can't read old fashion books? I just started the book, so I am only one hundred pages into it, but it feels like it is going fast since I've seen much of the movie.
I have decided that I am going to take a little inspiration from Aibileen. I'm going to tell myself like Aibileen told Mae Mobley:
You a smart girl.
You a kind girl.
If I tell myself that every morning before I leave for work, then it has to be true, right?
If that doesn't work, then I can always gain inspiration from Minny....
