This put such a smile on my face! I love the description of a cat in a 'baked bread' position and I'm looking out my dining room window at that perfect orange light right now (except it's the winter variety).
I am keeping this for those rainy days when I need a gentle reminder of what lifts my spirits. What a great post- thank you for sharing!
I wholeheartedly agree w/the hotel room entry!! Love entering a hotel room knowing that I don't have any of the normal domestic duties for the next several hours. I have license to put my feet up and enjoy!!
