My workplace setting will help, taking me back into time. Sitting in my favorite chair, logs burning in the fireplace, my dog RUFF laying in front of that fire, with a candlelight burning in every window. A moment frozen in time; a picture of the past secure in my mind, with a sense of fulfillment prodding me on. Every now and then though, I look up from my book, my mind peering into the darkness, gently sliding me back into time. I turn my head to the left at the sound of the wind, fully expecting Ben Franklin to walk into the room; sadden that the reality of the night has slowly crept back into the room. None the less, I have to pinch myself, to get back to the task at hand, knowing that this certainly is the best place to do my work. Slowly I put my book down next to my chair and turn to walk from the room. As I rise, I am safe in knowing there is always a light burning in all our log house windows to safely lead our way.
