I have a new favorite. I started out with McDonald's breakfast mornings that were conducive to reading the newspaper and not much else. But I didnt complain. It provided me with the needed refuge (dare I say "escape"?) I always seem to crave.

And then I dropped by Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf on an urge to Brunch one day. I’ve always loved the place, but the afternoon presence of crowds and noisy groups did not appeal to me as much. This visit though, I was surprised to find several other people with laptops and/or books reading, studying and surfing away. There was soothing piped in music and great coffee (and Chai Latte!) and the salads are good too. I found my seat in a corner table and realized that I have finally found my perfect getaway on weekends and on mornings when I just need to get away. And its just a jeep away from home!

Just a few minutes ago, when I sat down to write (yes, I am here – was there – as of this writing) I felt all the energy and drive return. Here, I can write again! Here, I can make my plans! I felt revived and happy, and all I needed was a small round table to myself, air conditioning, good coffee, good food and a serene area.
Now all I need is a laptop so I can use the wifi :-D

looking back and looking forward

I'm leaving in a few minutes, so I'll make this as quick (yet abstract still) as possible.

This was last year. Tomorrow will be the beginning of next year :)
