Tasty, Tempting, Undeniably Tea...

It's not the subject of this blog... however, it's on my mind... Why does iced tea have this effect on me?? I can drink two venti's with a double shot, an it does nothing in comparison to two glasses of iced tea. Yes, that's my downfall... and I'm just a night owl. Some more random thoughts from my ever-working mind...

Well... interesting how people come into your life that you never EVER would have even imagined.

It's been raining here in South Texas for a while now, at least 4 days straight... kind of feel as if I am back on the Northwest coast... but what can turn a dreary, mundane day, into an extraordinary day that you will remember for a while?

Think about it.

• It's the friendly voice on the phone when you've lost your sanity trying to understand the tech world...
• It's getting your car back after not having it because some non-insured motorist, better yet, some bulls, decided to wreck your morning...
• It's a note in the mailbox from a long, lost friend, recounting memories that just make you laugh out loud...
• It's knowing that there are kindred spirits in this world, put here, just for you. It's up to you to figure out their purpose...
• It's receiving a compliment from a stranger, finding out that you are needed, or seeing the smile on a little girl's face just because she's happy.
• It's receiving your grades in the mail confirming you passed that class...
• It's giving hope to a marriage falling apart...
• It's learning a prayer has been answered...
• It's being able to lift your hands, close your eyes, and feel closer to God...
• It's knowing you are doing the right thing...
• It's taking a chance... and knowing in your heart, it's right for you.

It's living the little moments, loving the lasting moments, and lingering on it all.

I give thanks today for giving me kind spirits around me, people I can rely on, family and friends who I love dearly, and those unexpected miracles as a result of the handiwork of God.

Smile... I've missed you... I'm very happy you are back in my life!
Laughter... I've put you aside for a while, but enjoy you so!
Faith... I've leaned on you through the fire, the rain, the joy and the pain.
Love... I'm learning you again...
Patience... I'll never have enough of you...
Thoughts... Run away more often these days...
