You know I’m feeling better when I slip on a sarcastic saying t-shirt and go for a walk. That will be the one time you bump into a neighbor you’ve never met before and they’ll want to stop and chat, but you hold firm to no apologies for the shirt.
Afterwards, I really wanted a cup of coffee, but not just any coffee…I wanted a magical cup of brew, so that idea took me to the coffee shop where I first purchased the shirt. When I stepped into the shop, the girl behind the counter busted out laughing and commented on the shirt. I ordered my favorite drink, picked up a couple of funny cards to send to friends and came home.
The coffee tasted like magic.
During my walk, I couldn’t get over how perfect the outdoor temperature was. I stopped at one point in the middle of the street and looked up at the sky to marvel at the shade of clear blue. I could have stood suspended in that moment for an hour, but heard a truck coming up behind me and moved out of the way. If someone would have looked out their window and saw me wearing this t-shirt with my face tilted toward the sky they probably would have wondered what the heck I was doing, but that didn’t bother me.
If they asked I would have told them….
I’m standing in awe of the moment.

Yes, there are times when coffee tastes like magic. I’ve always wondered where that came from? Is it a certain type of bean? I tend to go pretty simple: coffee with cream that’s it. If I tried some of the different varieties, would that increase my chance of a magical brew? Ha, ha, I’m sorry for the flurry of questions, but I just love that line, because it’s so right, so true. Thanks for sharing Barb. You keep standing in awe of the moment! Love it.

Brian, I just tried to leave a comment on your blog post about your mom (and her leaving the Amish community)…Hopefully, Barb won’t mind me leaving it here…..What a powerful story! I can see why your mom’s sisters death was such a powerful catalyst in her decision. I came to your blog via Barb’s blog just now.. That link you had to this story led me here:-) Your mom is a courageous woman, glad she didn’t have to be shunned. I’m guessing she would have still made the same decision to leave, but this worked out a lot better. DM

Thanks DM. Thanks too Barb for responding here. I’m not sure why you couldn’t respond on my site. Yes, my mother left the church because of her sister’s death and the lack of medical attention her sister got. She’s a brave woman. She was never shunned, she did have a brother who became Amish and then left the church, which added some complexity. Let me know if you still have issues on my site. My apologies.

It’s not your site per say. It happens on several wordpress sites lately, plus for some reason when you click my name there is a “page not found” message.

I was going to ask you about that DM. Your gravatar is missing and I received that error message when I clicked on your name. 😢

Me too. I’ve tried to fix it on my wordpress dashboard. It’s supposed to be linked to my farm blog ialsoliveonafarm.wordpress.com and it says it is, but I keep getting that message as well

When you have a minute, could you try it again Barb? I may have gotten it fixed.? Otherwise I’ll have to head over to the wordpress forum and see if I can get some technical help.

Of course DM. It seems to be linked now because your gravatar took me to your farm site. Yay!!!

I’m not sure why it tastes more magical at times Brian. In this instance it’s been almost 3 weeks since I’ve enjoyed the taste of it, so going to one of my favorite haunts increased the odds of it tasting divine. You are welcome and thank you as always for sharing your thoughts.
