Take A Minute And Smell The Coffee

I feel this year has been stressful and depressing and with my latest setback with both back door cables going on my van, a $1,000+ per door fix, I needed a reminder that there are a lot of things in my life that makes it all better.

Sometimes I just have to take a minute and smell the coffee.

Then breathe.

Take a walk.



 
And soak in all of the beauty in the world.



Go spend some time with nature.

And eat some of my favorite foods. Food is such a stress relief for me, but I also know my limitations. Except when it comes to Ben and Jerry's, curse you for tasting so good that I have to eat the whole container!

 
And spend some time with pets and family. My family is my world to me, not that my crazy cats aren't as well. This is Zeus by the way and he would say hi if he wasn't always sleeping and eating.

I am also a Christian so there is no better place to turn to in a tough time than Jesus. I know HE is watching over me. Everything that has happened to me, is just a part of his plan and sometimes we just can't explain why bad things happen. I am sure at some point it will be shown to me why these things happened.

On top of all of this, I also have this blog, the hobby and you guys.

The point of today's non card post is that in the end, I can see not all things are bad. There is always something in my life that brings a smile to my face to brighten up all of the bad things. 

So, if you are reading this and experiencing a rough time or rough year, just do what I did above, I am sure you will realize there is no problem too big that these things cannot make it better. You just have to look for them and experience them.

But remember first, you have to take a minute and smell the coffee.

  2. Amen to that brother! There is good in everything, but sometimes we have to look for it. Someday it will all make sense. Until then we march forward one step at a time. Yes, smell the coffee! Happy Friday.

    1. Even if it's hard to see the good, it's there.
