Coffee☕️First

The days can be long. The moments, fleeting. And it’s easy to get caught up in the busyness of it all. Take time to be present...and there is always time to sit, chat, and have a cup of coffee.

My taste in books has me like…🤷🏻‍♀️☠️

Some days are just too damn hard.

I desperately need a blinking neon sign with the word “BREATHE” in my life - at home, in my car, in my classroom. Sometimes I actual forget to do this. Sometimes I’m so overwhelmed that I don’t know what to do next. I find that I breathe the deepest when I cry. I cry a lot.

I’m tired. My head is tired. My eyes are tired. My body is tired. My heart is tired. I sleep but never feel rested. I rest but never truly sleep.

Love isn’t intimacy. Intimacy is trust, compromise, tenderness, and love. The safety you feel - to your core- with someone you share intimacy with should never be taken for granted. It’s a rare find. Embrace it.

Crying is cathartic. Crying is cleansing. Crying is necessary. The burdens we carry around are heavy; it’s okay to let go.

Learn to let go... 🍂🍁🌿

[mylifewithcoffee]

No truer words...

[mylifewithcoffee]

A hard lesson to learn, I’m afraid.

I find myself questioning things all the time. Wondering if this is how it’s supposed to be. Life gets uncomfortable at times, chaotic and crazy. Or the flip side, too much time to sit and think. To worry. I need to remember to just believe. Believe He has a plan.

Recently, I’ve really noticed all the complaining going on around me. And I’ve come to the realization that the more “we” complain, the more unhappy “we” get. Negative thoughts affect everyone around you. Truth be told ~ everyone has issues. We all have gripes. But it’s not okay to do nothing but complain. Tell me something that makes you happy. Tell me something that you appreciate. Tell me something that makes you smile. If you constantly complain about your life, you will find that you attract more things to complain about. And your bad mood affects me, more than you know. Be kind. Be light. It isn’t always that bad.

This is all I need right now...

[mylifewithcoffee]

Breathe. Pause. Breathe again.

[mylifewithcoffee]

Is this really where we are??

[mylifewithcoffee]

Sometimes, it’s easy to forget who’s in your corner. Pay attention to those that are.

Some days it’s really hard to get motivated. Coffee is warmth. My home is safe. My family is happiness. And when I wake up all by my lonesome and stare out my window at the dreariness of the morning, those things become even more necessary. Some days all I need is here.
