“here’s to fresh coffee and good books and kind hearts and found beauty

and the weird, kindred souls who help us know we are all in this together.”

A great quote! Full of wonderful things. The only change I’d make is to switch coffee for tea 🙂

My wife and I just cancelled our holiday trip to Paris – just too many restrictions due to the ongoing spread of the virus…oh well, we will sit at our small round Parisian table like the one in his picture and toast to better days ahead!
