Welcome to my Weekend Coffee Share, hosted by Natalie the Explorer. Today was a green tea day for me, and very much a rest and restore day. Yesterday after work, I got a cold tea at Starbucks and sat outside, since the air was breezy and nice for a change. Their inside seating was closed off anyway, thanks to COVID.
Time to rest and restore. I deserve it. I got my exercise this morning and walked the dog for a while. The fresh air was great once again.
A post came up in my Facebook memories feed that I’d like to share. I’m sort of in a peaceful place with life and acceptance right now, but I realize I need to stop expecting something bad to crop up, and I certainly need to disengage from COVID news or mask controversy! Maybe more gratitude is what I need.
I wrote the following post when thinking of the lotus and all it represents: “Be the lotus flower and rise out of the muck. Don’t be ashamed of your low beginnings or that you were underwater last week. Be all that you can be the minute you feel the sun on your face; embrace your beginnings or your dark yesterdays, for they brought you to where you are right now.”
Yes, this is where I am today. Gratitude. I think I should ponder on that again.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

I think ‘Gratitude” is an attitude we should all but live in daily.
Hi Pam. It’s good to hear that things have settled down for you some. You’ve had your fair share of wild rides and time to think, sort, and re-engage is a good thing. If I get too rushed, I suffer for lack of finding time to sort things out.
Hope this finds you well and loving life ever more.
Blessings.
