One Stroky’s Journey: A Good Night’s Sleep and More


Supreme elder Grandma Sugar, left, joins hubby and me for her first visit to our favorite coffee shop.

A number of things moved me into gear to post today. Yesterday I felt like I couldn’t possibly dredge up energy to post any time soon.

Today has been truly a new day and evidently a new, or at least a less worn, Linda. So I had to post. Contributing factors:

-       An extra good night’s sleep;

-       A slow-moving morning that included breakfast prepared by husband Walter and shared in front of a cheerful fire in our fireplace, also thanks to hubby;

-       A trip to our favorite coffee shop;

-       A surprise visit by Walter’s mom, Grandma Sugar, who saw our van parked outside Coffee Fusion;

-       Having Grandma Sugar enjoy a cappuccino, her first taste of Coffee Fusion, with us.

Sometimes simple things bring much needed balance and renewal! Blessings indeed!

  1. That sounds very nice, LC. I'm glad you've had a lifting of the weight. It is good to see you posting, but even better just knowing you are in a better place. :)

    Sometimes I have those moments when I think I can't blog for a while. There is something about saying/writing it out loud that seems to free me up in some way, almost as if untying whatever is dragging on me. When that happens, like you say here, I am somehow renewed for blogging again.

  3. A good night's sleep can do a world of good!!! And in sleep is when our bodies heal. what a fun coffee shop visit, it really is the little things that make our day!!! One of my favorite sayings is this one: "One day you will look back on the little things in life, and realize that they were the big things."

  7. Good to hear from you. I was feeling a bit sad after your blog yesteday. Too many people seem to have fallen by the wayside lately, and it hurts when one of them is someone you read faithfully.

    Isn't it wonderful what a new day can do. Never say never. Grandma Sugar looks like fun. Dianne
