Today I explored the quaintest little coffee shop overlooking Homewood. Once again, humanity never ceases to amaze me. there are just familial neighborhoods where people actually act as neighbors. They talk to their neighborhoods, they know eachother's stories, they help one another and all of this was reminded inside a single little coffee shop. 

With a name like "Everyday Coffee" you are bound to find everyday people talking about everyday things in the most magical of ways. I had to smile because at one point I looked out the window and one of the workers at the shop came from behind the counter and out the door to help an elderly man (whom he cearly knew) inside the shop. Images such as five men talking for about two hours and skyping with their "old friend" reminscing about "the good ole' days" when they were young. The laughter and the comments and the banter were enough to make anyone smile. 

All these images of falling leaves, a small little neighborhood tucked away in the city of Pittsburgh and a sea of smiles confirmed the fact that little nooks of goodness exist everyday in a world where everyday we hear complaints and "what-if's" and "self-consumption." One little Everyday stroll to this shop-and those everydays were erased. 

What a beautiful way to begin a fall weekend. What a truly amazing reminder of what it means to truly live...Everyday.
