I love reading, love it,
I adore writing, adore it,
And I have my rituals in how I do both,
To read, I simply need a book, magazine or several newspapers,
And no matter what is going on around me, I can lose myself in the pages of the book,
My ideal setting is my side of the sofa,
My man and I have our special sofa sides,
He is on the left side, with the desk next to him,
Where he keeps his stuff…
I am on the right side with a table I bought in Germany in 1980,
Next to it with a lamp, tons of books and magazines,
Tucked into that corner is my best reading spot,
Especially with my life partner there either watching news or dozing,
Writing is something I can also do almost anywhere,
Once I start tapping on the keys, I am in the zone,
But the ideal place is my office at home,
That room is totally me,
Filled with books, pictures of my loved ones,
A ton of music and the covers of all my books on the wall,
Scarves thrown over chairs,
It is so Angelia,
Once in there with a cup of coffee first thing in the morning,
Or a cup of green tea at midday,
Or if I’m really feeling grownup,
Red wine is in order,
I’m telling you it is sublime,
That is why I am so grateful that I waited until this point in my life to write,
I am long past the competitiveness and ambitions of my twenties and thirties,
And the exhaustion of my forties,
So now I can simply go into the zone and do my thing,
Lately I have been reading a lot,
I have written four books in fourteen months,
Three of which are out there and one ready to go whenever I decide to do it,
Feels good, to just chill, reading a good book,
Tucked in my corner of the sofa…
I love reading, writing and rituals…
Blessings!
Angelia
