Wednesdays Write

I have been meaning to do this and today I did. I left the house early before work to write in a local coffee shop. It allowed two hours of time to write. That's all it took. 

I felt proud of myself for giving myself this time. This act honors my writing self and the goals I have for myself. For me. 

It is also fun to write in a coffee shop. The smell of coffee, the faint smell of sugar hovering above pastries, and the sound of sputtering milk. 

There was a father and daughter pair next to me. They were just chatting. I could tell he was a thoughtful parent. It reminded me of what I want more of.  Easy, relaxing time to connect with both of my kids. 

There is something wonderful about writing in place that is not home or work. 

I felt like I got the upper hand on my day. 

I am further along in an essay I am working.  

All this before I am even on the freeway headed to work.
