The most wonderful moment of the day - or night - is when all has been done, lists have been completed and tasks are far behind.
Snuggled in bed allowing your mind to drift to the open page of a book. Perfection is reached when a cat lays profoundly on your stomach!
An avid reader since a young age - an enfant unique for whom books were siblings - reading in bed was one of my favourite activities, and still is.
Emily Haines of Metric (this is from her solo album with the Soft Skeletons) echoes this in a beautiful song.
Who's in a bad mood?
Who's in a taxi?
Turning the clock back,
Avoiding a fight with this man
He is meeting, stands in the lobby
Counting his questions in the neon light
Sinking under the river
Sewer line touches the edge of the suburbs
Back to the beach where
A family is waiting
On rumors of summer
Lay out a blanket, bring something to feed the birds
With all the luck you've had, why are your songs so sad?
Sing from a book you're reading in bed and took to heart.
All your lives unled, reading in bed
