Moment of Bliss #009

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Moments of bliss

Friday February 12, 2010

It was cold downstairs and it was making it hard to type.

I ran up to our bedroom to grab a sweater and as I crossed the threshold I couldn’t help but notice that the warm bedroom was pulling me in, embracing me, already working its midmorning magic on my fingers and my shop-worn soul.

The sun was pouring in, spilling over the bed, filling up the covers. This radiant heat was too tempting to resist.

How could I not lie down? Just for a second? Or two.

I thawed. The sun beamed down on my back. I felt very much like a cat. A happy cat.

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.

If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.
