We All Need 'Our Own Little Spot'...

     We all need our own little spot.  It's cathartic...it's therapeutic...it's what keeps us from ripping out our hair and climbing up on the hood of the car and howling at the moon.
     Life just moves too fast, and every once in a while, you just need a place to go and catch your breath.
     My little spot is the Starbucks just down the road from where I live.  I've been going there long enough that they know me.  I walk in the door and they don't even have to ask...tall coffee poured and waiting on the counter.  Sometimes I go there to meet a friend and just talk...about anything and everything, except work.  Sometimes I go there to read, and if I'm lucky, I can even snag one of the good chairs and settle in for a spell.  Sometimes I take a little table in the far corner and write.
     We all need our own little spot...to take a break...to daydream...to be creative...to let our minds wander over all the wonderful little things that make us smile.
