It was a little over 2 years ago that I closed down my office and moved headquarters for my empire back into my house.
The office was in a basement.
It was relatively small and housed 3 desks,a work table and a bank of file cabinets.
3 computers and 2 printers ran constantly,creating a constant whirring sound.
There were no windows that you could look out of. 
There was no sunshine. 
 When you were down there you couldn't tell what the weather outside was doing.
You could not tell if it was day or night either.
It was basically a cave.
My current office space is bright and airy. 
It is almost twice the size of the old space.
All of the file cabinets are gone. The desks and other furniture have been reduced down to one large wrap around.
And you never hear any of the electronics anymore.
I am surrounded by windows.
I have sky lights.
I can open the windows and get tons of fresh air.
I even have the option of siting outside on nice days.
The funny thing is there is a lot that I miss about that cave.
It was cozy. 
On a cold day like today, the heat warmed you through and through.
If you had a chill you merely turned up the thermostat and in a matter of minutes you were all toasty once again.
I can remember sitting in the darkness down there, the only light coming from the screen of my computer.
It was cozy.
My current space is terrific.
It flows.
It has great functionality.
It's just not cozy.
On brisk Autumn days like this one, I miss cozy.
I keep pushing back in my seat ,perusing my space, trying to come up with something, anything, that will help to create cozy.
So on top of the million and one other things I seem to be searching for, now I will add the search for cozy to the list.
Maybe I should buy a fern?
