Few things are more pleasurable to me than spending time in a café.

I’m a born people watcher, and the energy in cafes gives me a natural pick-me-up and almost always inspires me. As someone who likes a life that is full of simple pleasures, café sitting is something I try to do at least once a week, sometimes more.

Whenever my husband and I travel, the first thing we do is locate a café or two in the area. In fact, it’s a good way for us to get our bearings upon arrival. After traveling it can be refreshing and fun to sit, sip a favorite beverage, and get a sense of place.

For me, cafés also are the perfect setting for catching up with a friend, writing, sketching or formulating business ideas.

I work from home and my work is people-intensive, so sometimes my café visit provides the perfect change of scenery and the chance to be around people but not with them.

What about you? What are your favorite delights? Do you make time for them as often as you’d like?
