Morning Coffee

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm."

Ralph Waldo Emerson


I will never get tired of that first cup of coffee in the morning.


To start the day in a quiet moment with something you enjoy is truly one of the simple pleasures of the ordinary life.

The Journey ...lt All Makes Sense!

It All Makes Sense... How does a Nutribullet, Almond Milk, Coconut Oil, Lecithin, Greens and Fresh Fruit fit into my journey and end up being a puzzle part of realizing my dream?   Let me tell you...   Keith and I are pretty healthy people and desire to stay that way. We live simple yet active lives, we desire and enjoy simple common pleasures in life, we don't have a long list of "wants" and we appreciate having the things we "need".   Yet we found ourselves at a loss as to how to make life more significant and healthy for the long haul.   Our Megan led the way... to a wellness chiropractor and medical massage therapist. As a runner, she needed to have an efficient well oiled and healthy body to accomplish her goals. She would share what she learned about her body and we could see her getting stronger and more defined. She was full of energy, both physical and mental.   So we joined her and started visiting this team a l...

Favorite Things–Final Thoughts

"Mug Shots" Day 3

Image
There are just some things that you know are special when you first see them. Whether it be the color, design or craftsmanship you are just drawn to take a closer look. This next set of mugs was like that for me. They are all made in Poland and have a long history with some interesting stories. At the end of this blog I will post some links to some sites that talk about them. I spotted the blue one while shopping an outlet store and was immediately drawn to pick it up. The feel of the pottery and the details in the design combined with my love of anything blue confirmed my initial draw to this piece. While these pieces can be very pricey, this one was not because of the store it was in. Perhaps it was an overstock or a retired design or maybe it had a flaw that kept it from a different retail store. Regardless, I purchased it and have been using it as one of my favorites ever since. The one with the green and blue flower design is a favorite for spring and summer afternoo...
