Coffee, Sun, Book
June 27, 2009 – 7:13 pmToday was a gorgeous day in San Francisco. Blue skies, beaming sun, and temperature in the 80s. It doesn’t get much better! My thoughts drifted back to when I first moved to California last summer.
The one indulgence I allowed myself while looking for a job was a cappuccino and a croissant at a local cafe. And yes, this cafe served up their cappuccinos with the perfect foam!
I would take an hour or so to read a book and de-stress. In my opinion there aren’t too many better ways to relax than this. In fact, I have often remarked to my girlfriend what the perfect getaway for me would entail. Going away to a tropical island or a small European village invariably are the first to come up. And I always follow up with the reason for the getaway- a place to wake up every day, head to a cafe, and read.
One morning while I was reading at the cafe I looked up to see a man walking by. He smiled and said “coffee, sun, book… not bad!”
He couldn’t have been more right. And as I was walking around today on this hot, but pleasant Saturday afternoon I was again reminded that sometimes (maybe even most of the time) all you need is coffee, the sun, and a book.
You’ve got the makings of a perfect day.
