I had planned to do the usual today, wake up go to my favorite coffee place and catch up on reading my favorite newspaper. I haven't picked up the paper in a while, been too tired and busy. But instead, I rolled over and slept some more. I woke up to the alarm of my phone going off. Not sure how long it had been going off, but I knew I was hungry.

I enjoy quiet mornings. The smell of coffee brewing. The aroma of that first cup of coffee brings warmth to my soul.

And not doing anything today has been indeed very relaxing. Want proof? I didn't even walk a mile today. I walked from my bed, to kitchen and back.

I have been reading this book. My very first newspaper editor gave me this book as a Christmas present. I remember being so happy. As I flipped through the pages, I found one of my business cards. So surreal. I didn't think I still had any left. I remember feeling so proud giving my card to people I interviewed. I first started writing the business beat and then became the main reporter for the Business Journal. I covered everything business. Back then, the valley was booming. There was so much growth because of the U.S. And Mexico trade. I don't know how many events I covered that included the governor. He was a familiar face. I even interviewed the future governor once. I find it weird and odd to now look back and see how many people I interviewed and how many events I was a part of. From interviewing Jordan Knight from NKOTB (insert girly scream) to the now governor, the future new governor and I was even five steps away (Yep, I counted) from Bill Gates at a press conference that was held.

All this feels like a lifetime ago.

Enough reminiscing, I should head to bed. One more day of teaching, then finals and two weeks off. Can't wait.
