Thankful For Days That Pass By In Peace, Not Necessarily Eventful Or Life Changing, Just Peaceful. And

This forgotten castle (Château de la Mothe-Chandeniers) was abandoned after a fire In 1932. Seeing it up close is breathtaking. These days it seems like castles only exist in storybooks and Disney movies. What happened to the foreboding dwellings of our wealthiest ancestors? The truth of the matter is, while there are still many castles in Europe, many have fallen into disrepair and ruin over time. However, a group of preservationists in France are trying to save a 13th century castle that is slowly being reclaimed by nature. The story behind the abandoned property is just as fascinating as what’s left standing today. See an amazing video here.

Jules Laforgue, from Modern Poets of France: An Anthology; "Coming Winter,"

in bed, as i make small lists for the week, i am daydreaming about tomorrow morning’s cup of coffee.

this is similar, though not quite, to how my morning will be devoted to daydreaming about an hour more of sleep.
