Read It and Weep



Who doesn't need and love some "me" time. No silly, not time with me! Alone time. Time to think, evaluate and enjoy being you. A little alone time goes a long way, I don't care who you are, One day I hope to create my own little "me time haven", a magical place stocked with my items of wonder. Designed , cared for and lived in by yours truly. It will be filled with quiet and light, and of course comfortable seating and chandeliers.

A glimpse into my dreams of this place:
The heavy, carved, wooden doors creak open as you walk into the room, closing behind you with a soft and comforting thud. You take a deep breath and the crispness of a room closed off from the rest of the world fills your lungs, while the musty smell of knowledge rushes towards you from the book lined walls. The shelf-lined walls lead your eyes upward and eventually end where the unreachable ceiling begins, leaving you with a child's starry eyes. The smooth and knotty wood beneath your bare feet soothes your tired feet as you're beckoned by the fat velvet of your worn chaise lounge. Wrapped in thick chenille, you sit and gaze out the expansive wall of window panes, pouring their ethereal light all around you. Warmness and comfort fills every part of you and yet, here is where you feel so free. Your heart twinges with happy longing as you glide to your beautiful, ebony Model D. Your fingers brush the keys and their light voices bounce off the walls, a sweet companion to the calm room filled with stories. A glass of iced tea sweats in your other palm as you take in one more deep breath and smile with all of your heart.

I could go on of course, but why don't we let some pictures do the rest of the talking:







Wonder, Hope and Dream.
