In case my previous post is not what www.bzzagent.com is looking for, I have decided to write another post. I am writing about why I would love a kindle from bzzagent and why.
First off, I would love a Kindle from bzz agent because I would get it for free and I would not have to continue to save up for one which will take a long time yet. I would not have to wait for the time to afford one to be able to use one and this would be very beneficial to me. It would be beneficial because I read alot of books over the winter and winter is coming up and the kindle is much easier to hold than a book. I would love to be able to read the books on a kindle instead of well book form.
I would love to read books on a Kindle because it saves paper to get paperless ebooks and I love to save paper where I can.
Another benefit to having a Kindle would be that I would be able to take it with me to doctor's appts and never have to worry about not enough reading material. The kindle stores many books. I have a lot of doctor's appointments so this would come in handy many times. I would no longer have to take 2 books if I happen to be 1/2 or 3/4 done a book I am reading so that I have enough to read.
Another reason I would love a kindle is that I can find all the classics for free through the Amazon Kindle site which are not always easy to find elsewhere. Plus they are free which is great! I have recently finally read Jekyll and Hyde which I have intended to read for many years but never got around to it. But I read it on my smart phone which is less than fun. It was possible but it would be so much better on a Kindle.
Would you like to hear another reason? Why that is wonderful if you do because I am going to share another one! Yay! The Kindle has many more features on it than other E Readers out on the market and it would be such a great experience reading off a kindle. But I can not afford one yet so that is why I would love to get one from Bzz agent.
I have been recovering from back surgery and have days I can't move around very much and reading is a great way to pass the time. When laying down, books can be heavy to hold up and I have to keep resting my arms. With a kindle, it would be alot lighter and much easier to read books and I could read for longer periods and get more books done!!!
More awesome reasons for wanting a Kindle is the Wi-fi, the note taking abilities, being able to share parts of the book on twitter, and the dictionary that you can look up words as you read!!!
Well I really do hope you are not tired of hearing why I would love a kindle because I do have one last reason to share. :) E books are a bit cheaper than paper books and it would save me so much in the long run to buy eBooks. I have to have a e reader though to buy eBooks. Which is why a kindle is a very good device to have! Plus my bookshelf would be so much lighter if I didn't have the paper books on it. So that is why I would love a Kindle from BzzAgent.com!!!
What is bzz agent you ask? Well let me explain! It is a wonderful program where you sign up for something called a bzz campaign and you are given the chance to try a product for free (Yes that is correct-FREE) and you are required to bzz about it. How do you bzz about it? Well you go to your friends, neighbors, strangers on the street -anyone who will listen to you and you tell them about your experience with the product! Then you go back to bzz agent and submit reports about who you talked to and what they said and what you said. Sounds too simple huh? well it sure is simple and fun! There are no strings attached. Honest. I have had lots of fun with Bzz Agent. Some products I don't like so much so I give my reports and I give my honest opinions. It helps companies make better products I think and it spreads the word about great products which companies like. Word of mouth is a great way to help companies get more business when they sell a great product. Plus I get to find new products I like through this and continue to buy these products after the bzzcampaign is over. So these reasons are the reasons I would love a Kindle!! I hope I impressed the right people!!!

Where Life takes us
Hello again,
I must apologize for my absence but I got busy with summer and even reading outside in the shade when my back has been bad that I could not do stuff. I have been working on a post for some time and not sure if I should post it or not. It is personal but something that many might relate to. There is somewhat of a contest right now on a site I am a part of for a chance to get a Kindle and I thought it might be a good time to share this. The website I am a part of is www.bzzagent.com and they offer bzz campaigns where you try products for them and share your experiences. Often I am told I should write a book since I like to write so I thought it ties in with the chance to get a kindle. I am in no way trying to take away from the seriousness of my post by submitting it but just thought this is the time to share it in a way that more people might see it and maybe relate.
The last few months I have been really thinking alot about my life and where I have been and where I have yet to go. I've been thinking about how I had plans laid out to be in a certain spot by 30yrs old. I have also been thinking how a wrench was tossed into it all I suppose you could say and in 2004 everything fell apart. I had a full time job, a business on it's way up and my life planned out to have my own store by 30. I planned to have my own house by 30. Yet what I didn't take into account was curve balls in life that can change everything. I have dealt with chronic pain for years and was determined to not let it rule my life but in 2004 it got the upper hand and I was forced to quit my job and my business and put my plans on hold. I know I may sound bitter and I once was but I think I have come to terms with it. I have learned so much from this experience and have become such a different person because of it and in alot of ways a better person. I have learned that I can make plans but I must leave room for life's curveballs-what ever they may be. I do wish I could know what is coming because it would make it so much easier to plan my life. lol I did learn to be much more flexible, especially during the times I had to wait for surgeries. Each time it was almost a year of waiting and not being able to plan much because you don't know when you will recieve the call to go in. I am not really sad about that because I grew through it.
These past 6 years I have learned that there is only so much I can control. I can't even control when my body decides to work and when it decides it doesn't want to. With that in mind, I have learned that our future really is a mystery but an exciting one. I think it is exciting because anything can happen. Sometimes the thought that anything can happen is a scary one because it means bad stuff is possible but I like to think that anything means good can happen too. I am aware that bad stuff does happen because I have had my share of it but I also know that good stuff can happen too because I have experienced it as well. If we are going through tough stuff, it is important to hang in there because the darkest night can turn into the brightest morning. I have been down as low as I possibly could with depression and thoughts of suicide and I am glad I made it through that because even though it has been a long road back up, there has been a lot of good moments along the way. I am still waiting for morning to come and for the night to fully end but I am trying to trust that it will come.
I still struggle often that I am nearing 30 and no where near where I planned to be but I also realize that because of all my experiences and struggles that I am possibly in a better place than I would have been otherwise. Before everything went south, I was so focused on material possessions and it was the key to happiness. What I learned was that material possessions are great and often helpful but they do not bring happiness. I need to be happy where I am or I will never be happy.
I have also had so much time to read and have read so many books that I had intended to read but never got around to as well! This has definitely been something positive about this whole experience because I love reading but got too busy to read. I now make time to read no matter how busy I get. I have learned so much from books and I know that no matter how much I read-there is always more! Books have been one of a few things that have kept me sane when stuck in bed because of my back. I have learned from so many self help books the importance of gratitude and positive thinking. This has helped me immensely to help me move forward. Books offer so much and I am glad I have had the time to read them. It was also my way to get away from my life and current circumstances for even just a few minutes and let the author take me on a journey to far off places. As you can tell-I love books! I also love to write as you can tell by the length of this post.
In closing, I had no idea I would be where I am today even a year ago. Surprises are around every corner whether good or bad. I try to go with the flow and I try now to enjoy the good moments and carry them with me through the bad ones. I try to be thankful for everything-good and bad. Because every experience offers us a chance to learn and grow. Do I still have down days and struggle? Yes of course I do because I am human but I try to remind myself of everything I have learned and try to be thankful for what I can. Because we all struggle and none of us can get away from it but we can take it all and turn it into something positive. It is never easy but it is worth the time and effort. Thank you if you are still with me and haven't dozed off from boredom. lol thanks for reading this post that comes from my heart. I hope it is helpful to someone.
