BRUNCH. Garlic Shrimp Omelette. Or Scramble.

". . . because eating breakfast, even if it's 5 o'clock in the afternoon, is a sign that the day has just begun and good things can still happen.”
- J. Goldstein

Oh Brunch (not to be confused with Breakfast), How I love thee. 

On a leisurely weekend or vacation day. Those few and far between mornings when you wake up with the soft caress of the morning sun, open your eyes at your own pace, and lay in bed for a while contemplating the wonders of the world. . . or what to have for breakfast (in this case a garlic shrimp scramble medley. yum.) 

As opposed to the mornings of being rudely woken by the screaming alarm clock,  having to drag yourself out of bed barely able to squint one eye open just enough to not run into the wall, throw on clothes decent enough for work or get out in time to make it to the gym before work. 

Those mornings where breakfast doesn't exist, but its rare and more beautiful form; Brunch. 

brunch/brənCH/

Noun:

A late morning meal eaten {enjoyed} instead of breakfast and lunch.

To have the time to conjure a delicious breakfast, cup of coffee/tea and truly enjoy a beautiful morning; either in peaceful solitude, or in the gracious company of family or friend(s). 

To have time to get ready, put on a cute sundress and meet up one of your closest friends for a fancy little egg scramble and fruit dish, surrounded by the wonderful aroma of fresh brewed coffee, pancake syrup, and the lively chit chatter of other lucky brunchers. 

sigh. good sigh. 

Few things are more awesome than those mornings. when things slow down enough to actually ENJOY.  Thankful to have had one of those mornings today. As I sat there with my mom and brother enjoying my a delicious shrimp omelette. 

I take in the moment.

I am blessed.
