I awakened to a hint of light outside my bedroom window. Had I really slept all night? I reached for my cell phone to check the time - 6:18 a.m. Stretching my arms toward the ceiling, I soaked in the goodness of a full night’s slumber and whispered a prayer of thanks.

Relaxing in a quaint little coffee shop, hands cupping a mug of fancy coffee, enjoying conversation with a treasured friend. This scenario sits at the top of my favorite-things-to-do list.
