This is my first blogging adventure and I must admit I am a bit nervous. I stressed thinking about what to call my blog until it occured to me that anything related to coffee would work for me. I have had some wonderful morning moments gently greeting the new day with my full coffee cup in hand. More importantly, there have been deep, powerful conversations as well as a few lighthearted silly conversations, all with coffee cup in hand and someone else sharing the coffee pot. So Coffee Time it is!
I was about to write that I am not blogging to sit by myself in those quiet coffee moments, but to invite you to a conversation. However, I believe I am blogging for both. I have journaled for years and realize the power and clarity that can be experienced from getting thoughts, writings, and/or emotions onto paper, or blog, where you can "see" them. So this is a blog for me to enjoy the quiet moments AND it is to invite you to into conversation.
I have enjoyed, usually, walking many pathways in my life and am in the process of trying to decide on another. Nothing dramatic, just different from where I am now. There will be plenty of time for that discussion next time, and beyond. And somewhere in the process of discerning where I am going, I imagine there will be some looking to see where I have been and a little of this and day from the day to day.
But for now, I am wondering what kind of coffee cup do you prefer? Just like my life pathways have been varied and many, I enjoy many types of cups. It all depends on the day, the place, the statement I choose to make that day, etc. I have an Alaska mug I use when I want to remember the wild places in my life. (you will learn I am nuts about nature) There is a softly colored seashell mug I use for relaxing mornings. There are a few chipped mugs I use now and then, too. They remind me I don't have to be perfect, it's ok to have a little character. There are others, but you get the idea. So, what kind of cup, or mug, do you prefer-and why?
One last thing, I really have no idea what I am doing with setting up a blog. So please be patient if I change things around now and then while it gets figured out. There is a plan and it looks good in my head, we will just have to wait and see if it also looks good on the page.
I am a cup is half full kind of person, but empy is empty, or an opportunity to get a refill. Right now it is time to walk another path, so empty is how it will stay. There will be another pot of coffee on tomorrow and I always keep an empty chair for visitors.

I'm so proud of you Lyn. This is a new beginning. Yes, sometimes it will be scary, but it is also a great adventure. Thanks for starting this blog so we can take the journey with you.
I love coffee too and can't wait to sit down with you next week over a hot cup of coffee to chat about this new endeavor. Good luck to you!
Love, Ab
Thanks, Ab. You are one of my inspirations! I just love how your quilting business is taking off. Of course, it's no wonder with your talent. See you soon.

Hi Lyn, What an exciting adventure to be sure. I like the coffee theme, it agrees with me as well. I love a good cup of coffee, sitting outside with a ray of sunlight on me, listening to the birds in the morning. I always take something to read, but always close my eyes and enjoy the moment, at least for a moment. I love my green frog mug, which my mom sent to me in Afghanistan, definitely a fave. I love my Gevalia Creme Brulee flavored coffee and classic roast with cinnamon sprinkled on top of the grounds...with half and half, sugar and stevia!
I look forward to more posts! Patti (Gloria C's daughter)
Hi Patti,
I am so glad you visited, and helped your mom visit, too. :-)
I know what you mean about enjoying the moment. Thanks for sharing your favorite cup and coffee choice.

I have a zoo animal mug that I prefer with tea (honey chamomile) because it's small, and a mug with it's own attached spoon for any plain ol' coffee with flavored creamer.
