I intended to show you the inside of our English cottage today, but only realized after uploading the photos that over 90% of them I took in the kitchen. There must be a message in that fact.
Perhaps it's a testament to the amount of time a mama spends in the kitchen, or to how much I love eating? Or maybe just a statement about how beautiful this room is--the type of space you want to hang out in. Though there are more comfortable places to sit throughout the house, I find myself writing and blogging in here the most.
Today I'm feeling thankful for the flexibility of the work I do--that I can come halfway across the world and still continue. That I can work in such an inspiring setting, surrounded by family. Most of all, thankful for work I do that I love--so that even when away from home I don't really want to take a complete break. Instead, I'll just boil some more water in the kettle on the stove, make another cup of tea, and get on with it.
"One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating."
~Luciano Pavarotti
