Let THE SUN Shine

This isn't a book that I'm going to tell you about, but it's certainly one of my favorite reads.  And a funny thing happened on the way to my reunion.  We'll get to this good read in just a minute.

It seems that I've reached that time in life when high school reunions pop up.  This is year number 50 for me and my classmates from an all girls school.  Women were arriving from all over the United States for the celebration.  One of my good friends from high school was driving up a day early and we were going to have a pajama party.  We hadn't seen each other in 45 years and felt we had a lot of catching up to do.

Our lives had been diverse - she married to a rancher out west and raising 10 kids, while I lived in urban settings all of my adult life.  When she arrived and the hugs and lies about, "You haven't aged a bit," had been exchanged, my friend said she brought a copy of her favorite magazine to share with me.  The name of the magazine was The Sun.  I no longer buy numerous magazines but subscribe to only one.  That magazine is The Sun.  I guess that after all these years we're still pretty much alike in our tastes.  Now, I'd like to tell you why I like this publications and recommend The Sun to you.

First, I like this magazine because it's ad free.  That alone is worth about a zillion points in my book.  Next, it always has something in it that will make me think or expose me to people and ideas that enrich my life.  There's always an in-depth interview, a short story or two, and comments from readers on various topics.

On the down side, the magazine is only about 50 pages and I generally read it cover to cover on the day that it arrives.  Then I have to sit there patiently tapping my foot until the next issue arrives.

You can go to the website of The Sun, edited and published by Sy Safransky, and get a taste of what to expect.  There's even something about a free trial.  Free is good.
