Filling my heart at the start of each day


Carmen asked what we filled our cup with each day.
Each morning I go to House of Java before I go to work. I greet the day with my hot or iced coffee. As I sit there, I take out my journal and start writing. I had stopped for a while but now that I've started again I KNOW that this is what I need to do to start off my day well. It does not guarantee a good day but days are definitely better for doing this.
I'm not working today but I have a big writing project ahead of me. Java House is waiting.

Annie,
I have begun a ritual of going to the local coffee shop on Saturday's (as this is the only day I do not need to absolutely run out of the door) and either reading or drawing in my journal.

What a luxury to be able to start each day this way. Studio Friday today talk of not having goals, but I believe this is a goal that could really change the texture of my life.

Good for you to have discovered this necessity and making part of your life!

Annie,

I'm a Starbucks girl - venti mild. When I'm not at Starbucks in the mornings you can find me brewing up either chai or ginger tea at home. ;)

"House of Java" that sounds like it would be very tropical and full of steam and gamelan music, good for germinating ideas.

Where is the House of Java, Annie? I need to go there next time I'm down. My treat, too!

What a wonderful way to start your day...The routine won't be so easy when you retire...sometime work forced me to keep a better schedule!
