What If?

Petey does not drink from that wine bottle

A little while ago, I read a post by Stephen Guise (sguise@deepexistence.com). He is someone I follow who, for me, is very motivational.
His theme that week was “What If”. Not what if I don’t… but what if I do. For instance, what if I just put my shoes on so I can go for a walk. It progresses from there. I put my shoes on. What if I put the leash on the dog. The dog is now happily excited and ready to go. Ok.so what if we just walk up to the top of the drive. All good. Well, as long as we’re here, we might as well go all the way. And so, with just that one little question, Petey and I walked about 1 1/2 miles this morning.

I enjoy Steven’s motivational blogs. He publishes it every Tuesday. “What If” can be applied to so many events during a day. You may want to consider using it too.

Ode to Morning Joe

Nothing can surpass my Morning Joe

Oh, Morning Joe
Let me tell you
How seducing you are.

Your beguiling, gurgling alarm,
As the last of you drips into the pot,
Is a soothing call to launch another day.

Your robust, aromatic perfume
Lures me to the kitchen
Anticipating your hearty brew.

Your deep, dark petroleum,
Not defiled by milk or sugar,
Fulfills your promise of energy and excitement.

Your steamy, warm liquid
So hot it could burn my tongue
Heats my hands as I cradle you in my mug.

Nothing can surpass My Morning Joe.
