Virtual Coffee {1}

Photobucket


I’m trying something new today…. Amy over at Lucky number 13 has a weekly linkup called Virtual Coffee, and this week I decided to give it a shot. So for today, let’s pretend we’re meeting up for coffee…

If we were really having coffee today, I’d tell you that I’ve been so tired lately, though the kids are finally sleeping through the night most nights. I’d tell you that I think I’m tired all the time cause I can’t make my brain shut up for even five minutes. I’m always thinking, thinking, thinking but it’s like a dog chasing its tail cause I’m not getting anywhere. If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that I just need to relax, but I don’t know how anymore. The anxiety is always there, the undercurrent of my life.

But then I’d shake it off, and I’d ask you how you like this banana bread I made today, it’s nice and moist isn’t it? The secret is to add sour cream, you know. And then we’d sip our coffee quietly for a minute and I’d start thinking that life is what it is and there’s no point in worrying about what may or may not happen, all we can do is live the life we’re given. If we were having coffee today, I’d ask you how you’re doing, what’s new with you? And you’d tell me about your life lately, even the unimportant things, because you know that sometimes we just need to be allowed to sit quietly and listen to others. And I’d finish my coffee, and reach for the pot and I’d let your voice soothe me as I start on my second cup.

  5. I know what you mean about the chasing tail bit. I have a hard time shutting down too at night. I think I need to shut the computer and pick up a book at least 20 or 30 minutes just to unwind!

  8. Datra, let's see how things go, but I'm hopeful that I'll make it to Houston before the end of the year, so we may yet have that coffee!

  9. Brooke, I totally agree, though I'm having a hard time finding something good to read lately that doesn't totally depress me!

  10. I heard someone say once something along the lines of: Worrying is like rocking in a rocking chair. You feel like you're doing something, but you're still not going anywhere. Ain't that the truth?

    I hope you find a way to let it be.

  11. And I would say, "no more coffee for you" but you can have more banana bread and I know you like your orange juice. When I drink to much coffee, I am not able to shot my mind off. So could you poor me some orange juice too? And another slice of banana bread which is indeed scrumptious.
