Back at the Reading Room

Back in the winter of '06, I spent a lot of time in the Reading Room working on my essays and such. Even in early '07 I was in there a lot. And then I found myself less interested in being inside to work and less able to keep focused and comfortable there. So I worked from home and enjoyed the bright, cozy setting of my kitchen.

Now I am back into high gear and am back at the Reading Room. And it is amazing! It's great to see the same faces each day. There is this community of folks making small steps each day and supporting each other. There's lots of us who don't know each other's names but recognize each other's faces. There's others of us who have introduced ourselves and know that the other is researching so we can do a bit more support.

There's something really great about those days when you can feel the folks around you are getting stuff done. There's this palpable success in the air like a collective hitting of our stride. I will miss this.
