Perfect, Unadulterated Bliss

High atop Lookout Mountain is a place of wonder akin to nothing in the valley, at least in my opinion. I should disclose that I'm a Starbucks lover and I love it for the coffee and not anything else like the trendiness or branding. I'm currently typing this at a Starbucks, waiting for someone to vacate a soft leather chair so I can move out of my wooden hemmorhoid seat. In the meantime....

I'll tell you how high on Lookout Mountain, tucked away across from Rock City is a cottage built, on the outside, with large stones. In this cottage is housed the coziest Starbucks known to man. Even the outdoors is cozy, where a stone fireplace with a tall chimney warms customers as they drink their hot coffees. We headed there after the photoshoot on Sunday where we sat and warmed up by the fire. Sitting there on the mountain by the fire, I felt a warmth of spirit that only comes when you're in a truly perfect place. You think I'm being dramatic right? Well I'm not. I can't entirely give Starbucks the credit, since life looks pretty good right now anyway, but it didn't hurt to listen to the fire crackle in a place so quiet and peaceful.

Your Starbucks sounds much better then mine.
I wish I could write the way you do, you could write about anything and make it sound wonderful!

If only being imaginative could pay the bills.

Hey you never know.....

Good luck on your job search, but do your best to enjoy the time home and not working. I know it's probably easier said then done though.
