Work has been a trial the last few days and today was no different–I ended up going in two hours earlier than necessary to meet with a client that cancelled. So I hightailed it out of there to try and get my head back on straight and ended up in a bookstore…

 Once inside, I felt relaxed. As silly as it sounds, but I felt like I could breathe again and just take a little bit of time for myself. I used to lose myself in bookstores and forget about the commotion and drama that seems to make up the Legos of my life. And today, I was reminded of that…and it was delicious. Slowly strolling the aisles, picking up a book and reading a few pages, just made me feel calmer and more at ease. And, even though I didn’t want to leave and go back to work, at least for a minute I had found my way back to a home that made sense to me.
