After traveling and enjoying a blessed, but busy weekend, I spent this Monday morning enjoying breakfast at a local diner with my husband. After we played “catch up” with all the things we wanted to talk about our conversation shifted to our cups of coffee. Simple cups of diner quality coffee, both drank hot andContinue reading “A Simple Cup of Coffee”

Smell the Flowers
Stop and smell the flowers. There is wisdom behind that adage. All too often we are engrossed with our relentless to-do lists and don’t take a moment to slow down.

Resurrection Eyes
I have been accused more than once of seeing the world through rose-colored glasses. the people who tell me this say it like it’s a bad thing.

I have arguments with it, sometimes even out loud. I tell it that I am too busy, don’tContinue reading “In a love/hate relationship”

Walking a Tightrope
Last night my husband and I watched the movie, “The Walk”. It is an incredible, beautiful movie based on Philippe Pettit’s determination to walk a tightrope across the Twin Towers just after they were built. He had an incredible, and self-admitted impossible goal, but that didn’t stop him. He knew he wanted to try andContinue reading “Walking a Tightrope”
