I have a friend who regularly takes a book and goes to a coffee shop for morning coffee. A pleasant location, a good cup of dark roast and the morning newspaper or a good book add up to a simple but satisfying way to spend some time.
Three times the past few weeks I have eaten my lunch on a bench overlooking 'river landing' - I especially like to watch the river eat away at the ice and I refused to take a book because I thought it would be good to just look!
This painting is of the Gallery Espresso, in Savannah, GA, a favourite spot we enjoyed numerous times when visiting a few years ago. It seems like some places are good at helping one to slow down! I'm looking forward to finding a few such spots this spring.
we all need places that help us slow down and look. they are worth the search! even looking at this picture makes me feel like that!
