My writing pleasures


5I was at the doctor’s the other day when I noticed an accent light similar to this. I asked where they’d gotten it from and they said Walmart. I thought it might be fun to have something like that for my office so I went in search of it. The first time I went to Walmart, I couldn’t find it. Then I went back another time, and this lamp was on a side aisle. It wasn’t exactly like the doctor’s; this one had white accents, which I thought was even better. It is actually a candle warmer, but I don’t think I will use that option much, if at all. When lit on top of my white dresser, it looks lovely, especially at night. When not lit, it makes me think of delicate shells.

Also at that Walmart, I stumbled upon this canvas photo of the Eiffel Tower below. It is now under my clock, facing right when I write. It’s a lovely reminder of the amazing things humans can imagine and create, and of the day my husband and I spent there in 2014. I love having these jolts of happiness every time I sit to write in my office.
