Here. Come and sit with me. I’ve got a nice spot reserved for us here at my table, with a vase of daisies and my favorite coffee mug—the red one with white polka dots. Pour whatever you choose into your cup; it’s not actually about the coffee, anyway. It’s mostly about the warmth, the comfort, something to sip as we talk and think. Personally, I love my little polka-dotted cup for how it feels in my hands. I always feel more sophisticated when I am holding a coffee cup, and I find it helpful for gesturing, if you want the honest truth. And I hope we can agree that polka dots are almost always a nice touch. Polka dots and daisies are the essence of happy. Most of life is a little happier with a splash of one or the other.

Here’s a little plate of caramel toffee scones, but don’t worry—I didn’t bake them. I mean, it’s not like you should fear for your life if I offer you my home-baked somethings. I only say, “Don’t worry,” because I don’t want you to think this whole scene is something it isn’t: meant to impress or make you feel like I have it all together. It’s just a table of intentional invitation. Because we’re friends now, you and I, and I have a couple of things to say to you.
