My five favorite apps on my phone are Photos, Audiobook, Libby, Google, and Maps. I love Photos because it keeps my favorite pictures of my family, pups, mountain adventures, and everyday moments close at hand. Audiobook and Libby allow me to enjoy books wherever I go, while driving, relaxing, or winding down at the end of the day. Google is my go-to app when I want to find information quickly, and Maps helps me navigate when I am traveling, exploring mountain roads, or visiting someplace new.
If I could build the perfect space for reading and writing, I would design a room with large windows that let in soft, filtered light from the nearby pines. The trees would sway gently outside, casting a peaceful, natural glow throughout the space. On one wall, a fire blazes in the hearth, providing warmth and an inviting ambiance. In the corner, a plush, overstuffed recliner would beckon, its cushions soft and cozy. I’d settle into it, pulling a warm comforter over my legs, ready to start the day. Balancing my laptop on my knees, the soothing crackle of the fire would be my backdrop as I begin my writing, the words flowing as the world outside quietly fades away.
Next to the chair, a small side table would hold my morning coffee, the rich aroma of the brew sparking creativity. It would sit within arm’s reach, a comforting ritual to help me ease into the day’s work. With the fire’s warmth, the calming view, and my trusty coffee by my side, I’d be perfectly equipped for whatever thoughts or stories might emerge, ready to write the day away.
