your study space is inspirational!<br /><br />-m<br /><br />0h!<br /><br />i stole the images above from an article about lovely libraries,<br />i cannot for the life of me remember the link to the

mornings.<div style="text-align: center;">hello!<br /><br />long time, no blog<br />i know,<br />i know!<br /><br />just wanted to quickly pop in,<br />& talk about lovely mornings.<br /><br />mornings when you slip into the coffee shop<br />bright & early.<br /><br />when you peek at the pastry window,<br />choose a lemon & cranberry scone,<br />watch as the freshly brewed coffee<br />leaves the pot & rushes to your welcoming cup.<br /><br />when you sit by the window,<br />laptop in tow<br />& take a deep breathe,<br />knowing that the day will be long,<br />but for now all you need to know<br />is the feel of a warm cup, that your fingers surround,<br />the sweet smell of the scone, as you take the first bite,<br />& the sound of newspaper pages turning amidst chatter.<br /><br />when you gaze out of the window,<br />& you can almost see<br />autumn packing up,<br />& winter settling in.<br /><br />when you start brief errands,<br />& gleefully check off tasks on the to-do list.<br /><br />that morning was mine,<br />& i loved every moment of it.<br /><br />it's a monday,<br />here's hoping that this morning<br />was a sign of things to come.<br /><br />lots of
