simpler times

Even though I barely have time to read the magazines I already get, I want another one.

I used to receive this magazine. I faithfully read it each month enjoying the pictures, the tips, the recipes, the stories. But for some reason, I let my subscription fizzle. Maybe it was because I was already getting too many magazines (actually only 1 or 2 others). Maybe it was because I was once again gearing up for a round of classes. Maybe it was because I could barely keep up with my book club reading. Maybe it was because I had a mountain of professional books waiting to be read. Whatever the reason, I let the subscription go. Even after I stopped receiving the magazines, I would look through them. In fact, one weekend I leafed through each kept issue, tearing out pages I wanted to personally archive (which I did in an accordion file. i know, i'm a dork.). It is obvious I have a love for this magazine.

Over a year later I think I'm ready for this magazine to appear in my mailbox once again. I'm ready to leaf through it's colorful pages, ready to read the inspiring articles, ready to salivate over the recipes, ready to attempt some of the decorating and organizing tips. I'm ready for a simple life again.
