This essay is pure gold.

The broken pen. The switch from the doing to the forced receiving of the loud barista.

The decision to do internal work in a public space.

I can picture your surroundings. As your writing always takes us so vividly with you, all the feels 💙 I find myself lost often in coffee shops, observing and not getting work done. That space needs you and your magic, and your little town is lucky to have you and your sweet family. And I can't wait to hunker down in a corner of your coffee shop, it sounds heavenly ✨️

Oh! I so loved this entry, Jacki. I felt like I was right there with you, watching and hearing it all happen. You need to come to Brisbane, Australia, we have lots of those cafes here like your dream cafe. They open early like 6am and close early too, like 11am or *gasp* stay open as "late" as 1pm. Coming from North America, they used to bother me. What do you mean you aren't open until 9pm?! But now I respect it. There is something magic about the slow cafe experience, the simple coffee choices and good quality local pastries that I'll manage with the 11am close.
