A Peaceful Lunch

Lunch was perfect today. I mean it. What did I eat? Nothing special and it was wonderful. Fifteen minutes walking downtown, thirty minutes eating and reading in a random cafe and fifteen minutes walking back to the office.

For the last few weeks, it seems, every lunch has been with at least one other person. Don't get me wrong. I love the company and I'm not wishing for a sudden end to all future lunch plans, but every once in a while, it's good to spend the midday hour alone.

The weather was gorgeous, I was away from my desk and away from my computer. I was surrounded by people I didn't know and who didn't know me. It was liberating to relax and think in peace. I needed the change.
