Anxiety: Mounting Magazines

I read a lot of magazines. And by a lot I mean that if I’m not careful, my bedroom starts to look like the periodicals section of a bookstore (stray coffee cups included). When I decided to aim for about a book a week, I definitely got nervous that it would make keeping up with my subscriptions tricky.

And then Tuesday night rolled around. I was tired. It had been a long day at work (followed by a run) and my eyes could barely stay open long enough to make a peanut butter sandwich for dinner, let alone read. But when I spied the Glamour on my nightstand, I felt a little perkier. The coverlines practically called out to me, tempting me to peek inside. Diving in totally re-energized me, and my worries about keeping up with my favorite monthlies (and one weekly) dissipated. There’s no way I could ignore them; I simply love them too much.
