allows you to travel. To escape. To become a better gardener, a more confident cook and even attempt to knit a Fair-Isle jumper. It will get you to think and think more and to ponder and sometimes have an epiphany. It will cause you to want to finally create that plan, write that long over-due real letter and schedule that hike. Sometimes it'll cause you to become a page-turner, laugh out loud or head to the library.
Add music and decent coffee and perfect company and you may well have bliss on a Sunday.
