breakfast table.

There's something sacred about reading a blog post on someone else's site. It's like visiting a friend's house for a quick meal 'round the breakfast table. It's personal -- you're in their space, and the environment is uniquely suited for idea exchange and uninterrupted conversation. In many ways, we should be treating our blogs like our breakfast tables. Be welcoming & gracious when you host, and kind & respectful when visiting.

-- Trent Walton

i recently read this quote about blogs and for whatever reason, i just absolutely loved it. maybe because (when i actually get up early enough to enjoy them) i love mornings, especially when they involve a yummy breakfast, so i love the idea of my blog as a breakfast table. or maybe because i've recently discovered i have a love for hosting (i get it from my mama), so i love the idea of "hosting" people as they visit my blog. or maybe because i'm an extrovert that processes verbally, so when i'm writing these blog posts, i'm actually wishing i was sitting across the table from a best friend (with coffee in hand, of course) talking about these thoughts and being encouraged by theirs. so, i know this little ol' blog isn't really anything special, but for those of you that consistently take time to read my rambling thoughts, thanks for taking a seat at my breakfast table. coffee refill, anyone?

{p.s. i saw this quote on a really fun blog i stumbled upon... today's letters. you should check it out.}
