Okay, so you can look through other posts (I will try to come back later and link them) and see some of the issues I have encountered at Barnes and Noble. I don't want to think it is me. I show up, computer in hand, write like crazy and go home. However, it always seems that "those" people end up seated next to me.
As I am typing, I am sitting across from a couple who insists on talking loudly to each other about a magazine. The guy is reading all of the statistics aloud while the girl lets him know whether or not she thinks it is accurate. I guess it wouldn't be such a big deal if the magazine and the statistics were not about an inappropriate subject.
I am not a prude, however, I like to enjoy a drink and get a little work done. I came here to escape the distractions at home. And so, I walk out of that place and into another. It isn't that I mind the conversation. I think it is more about the volume and the opinions etc.
How do these people find me?
Everyday Greatness with commentary by Steven R. Covey
Everyday Greatness is a book that provides insight, inspiration and information on many topics that we deal with on a daily basis. Organized by character traits that you want to see in your own life, you can sit down and read from cover to cover or look up insight on the specific attribute you are trying to cultivate. It includes 63 stories from Reader’s Digest as well as quotes to enrich the reading.I loved reading the stories in Everyday Greatness. They came from many different people and I think that is what caught my attention. Familiar names from society are sprinkled in with people that anyone can relate to, making the book an authentic look at what we can do to make a difference.
I enjoyed the fact that I could browse by category and that it had clear stopping points so I could put the book down and come back to it later. This book is the gift for the person who has everything or someone who needs a boost during a tough time.
Everyday Greatness will challenge you to be the person that you are meant to be through the choices that you make everyday.
Catching Up
Last time I blogged (about a month ago) I was trying to find balance.
Update: I have yet to find it.
I have started writing a lot lately and have even branched out to places other than eHow.com. In fact, I just started as Tucson's Frugal Family Examiner.
And so, I continue to add to the mix. Hang in there with me as I try to keep it all up to date.

Finding Balance
I haven't been blogging as much as I would like. It seems like I work on one thing for a while and get that straight, only to find something else left undone. I know there is always going to be something that needs to be done or taken care of , but there has to be a way to keep everything balanced, even if you have to put a little extra into one thing or another.
Any suggestions for how you keep balance in your life?
