Magazines, magazines everywhere!

There are so many great magazines available on the market today - and I want to keep up on all my interests. Yet, I often feel guilty for subscribing to some of my favorites. Either they pile up on the counter, waiting to be read or I read them and then feel bad about all those trees that I have "assisted" in cutting down. So, I have taken to subscribing to many as on-line magazines. It is not always identical information as in the printed version, but it is faster to read (I can pick and choose the articles I want to read more about), I feel able to keep up on more topics, and there is no post-consumer guilt, especially if I don't get around to reading each issue. If you are wondering if there is an on-line version, just go to the magazine's web site- usually there is a tab to click to subscribe. In addition, I now pick one printed subscription that I want to read cover to cover. I use it to get me through indoor winter workouts (because let's face it, these get pretty boring). I bring it to the gym with me, read it while on the aerobic machines (sometimes the issue lasts one work-out, sometimes two) and then I leave it behind for others to read. I have motivation, I read the whole issue, and I re-cycle it for others. --Deb
