This weekend, this made me happy ...
Saturday, August 4 -- Coffee shop breakfasts. Saturdays are always hectic as I bounce from grocery store to post office to bank to the vet. When I'm done, I just love sliding into the booth at my local coffee shop, ordering breakfast, and escaping into a book. This week it was french toast and orange juice with Tina Brown's biography of Princess Diana. I always leave feeling renewed and civilized.
Sunday, August 5 -- Silly laughter. This weekend I spent a lot of time with my oldest friend. We laughed about everything and nothing. No consequence, no responsibility, just laughter. It's left me so happy, relaxed, and glad to know her.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
I have a big grin on my face... your whole coffee shop experience is just like my weekly pilgrimage to Al's Diner. A good book, laid-back atmosphere, and good eats!
ReplyDeleteAnd silly laughter. Isn't that the best kind?
I'm so glad I'm copying this idea, I find myself focusing much more on the little joys of the day. And it's a fantastic mind-set for going back to school with all the changes and stress.
