WISE WORDS YOUR MOTHER MIGHT HAVE SAID

Wise Words Your Mother Might Have Said - Week 5

"Choose a Tranquil, Serene Place to Read or Write"

My Dream Nook

Almost everyone has their nose stuck in a book or a computer these days . I'm always on the lookout for a great place to read or write and usually it's outside (weather permitting). Certain criteria must be met before I can put my thoughts aside and delve into a book or write a scene.

I'm interested in hearing about where you like to read and write.

My Imagination at Work

(I'm such a Shabby Chic girl)

* Are you the kind of person who reads/writes a chapter or two while riding the subway?

*  Must you have complete harmonic stillness to read or write?

* Do you spend your lunch break reading or writing in the park?

* Do you head for your local bookstore and curl up in a chair to write or read?

When I was a teen, I'd cuddle up on the porch swing with my latest book. Perfect conditions would include a slight breeze, sunshine, and solitude, except for the sounds of nature.

Now, (with pen and notebook in hand) I'd head over to a lovely, local botanical garden and sit on one of the benches scattered throughout. We're not talking a small garden plot here with several rows of flowers -- no, we're talking about an entire City block of trees, flowering shrubs and plants. The kewl thing about this garden (other than its beauty) is that a man built it for his wife who passed on ten years prior. She loved flowers and this is his tribute to her. Romantic, huh?

Now that I spend so much time writing, most of my reading time happens at home, and usually in bed before I drift off to dreamland for the night.
