Borders is Closing: A Writer's Take On Life

Well, I'm sad.  I will miss my nearby Borders. They were lovely in providing a place for book signings.  Their staff was friendly, always knowing where everything was.  They were handy so I could indulge my need for print books.

I had a Borders gift card that I hadn't used.  So I went to Borders and bought some journals, because I love writing longhand first.  I bought some Christine Feehan, Lynsay Sands, Bianca D'Arc, and Charlaine Harris.  I also bought the Harry Potter Cookbook.  Who knows I might cook!  Okay, don't laugh.  Those that know me will laugh.  My husband is the chef of the family.

I talked to one of the workers there saying I would miss them and they were my favorite bookstore.  They said they would miss it too.

According to the news, Borders is starting their Going Out of Business Sale on Friday.

The world is changing.  You either change with it or …  I am an infernal optimist.  Not an eternal optimist.  Infernal meaning irritating.  It's irritating how I always believe things will get better.  I believe the wonderful bookstore workers of my favorite Borders store will find a better way of life.  Turmoil and dark times make us strong and give conflict to the story of our life.  Yes, Borders is closing but I wonder what will happen next! I can't wait for the sequel.
