Borders has been my "Guarimba", comfort zone, happy place. It's where I would go to get my mind off a failing marriage, my "me" time after having a baby, the coffee shop where I journaled away my belief in God and desperately sought answers to unanswerable questions. To everything a season. My new mantra is less reading and more living. I have found enough answers to live a Happy life. Thank you Borders!Dalybethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15404873068067971636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6426138961814477054.post-60135850441215668102011-09-01T08:11:18.267-07:002011-09-01T08:11:18.267-07:00wow kim! such a nice post dedicated to BORDERS!

I found, and learned to appreciate, genres of music I never would have been exposed to without Borders. I think it made a positive impact on literacy, by adding a coolness factor to books: one that the internet and libraries can't match. I used to love browsing through a stack of new book while sipping a strong cup of coffee. How could they fold after all the money I gave them? Luckily, you live within striking distance of Powell's Books. <br /><br />Sigh,<br /><br />Jed's and Kim's FriendAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
