If you and I had coffee...
We would meet at Barnes and Noble or a local bookstore. We would get some coffee. I would most likely get a toasted white chocolate mocha and a pastry or sandwich. We would be very happy to be indoors because it is way too cold outside.
If you and I had coffee...
I would tell you that I have been incredibly stressed and feeling overwhelmed. I keep trying to do too much in so little time. My to-do list is piling up and I haven't really been taking care of myself as much as I would like. I'm realizing that everything does not need to be perfect and it's ok if I have to put things off.
If you and I had coffee...
I'd tell you that I am excited for the new year. Even though I have been stressed, there are so many things that I am looking forward to. I have so many realistic goals and I can't wait to share them soon.
If you and I had coffee...
I would tell you that I have been feeling like a horrible friend. I haven't been able to catch up with a lot of friends and I have also had to cancel a lot of plans. All of my friends are so understanding, but I still feel horrible.
If you and I had coffee...
I would tell you that I am so over the cold. I know it's still fall, but I consider the day after Thanksgiving to be the beginning of winter. I am so ready for Spring. Maybe I've been feeling a bit down because of the cold weather.
If you and I had coffee...
I would tell you that I am so excited for Christmas. It will be Raphael's first Christmas and we are excited to make some new memories with the newest member of our family.
If you and I had coffee...
I would tell you that I have been devouring all of the holiday treats and baked goods. I've been downing hot chocolate like there's no tomorrow. Right now, I am all about the holidays.
What would you tell me?
Thanks for visiting!
Until next time...

B&N is one of my favorite places to meet up with friends. It's so cozy and let's be honest - all those books? Yes, please. I can't wait to hear about your goals for the new year. I'm still thinking about how I want to approach 2019. I totally understand your feeling like a bad friend. I've been through periods like that, where I've had to cancel or have been so out of it that I couldn't return a text of phone call. I believe that's how you know you've found a true friend. They will be understanding and forgiving in these situations. Don't beat yourself up, friend, because everyone feels like this sometimes. I hope you have a blessed holiday season, especially with your sweet little Raphael. It's always fun to get to watch the holiday joy through their eyes in the first few years of life. Thanks for having coffee with me! <3
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind words. I've been trying not to beat myself up, but it has been a bit hard not to. I just feel so bad that I've had to cancel so much stuff. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season and get to spend time with your family. Thank you for inviting me for coffee. It's just what I needed.
DeleteI'm trying to not overdo it on holiday sweets and food in general, but man, is it tough during this time of the year. LOL I really need to focus more on being better in the new year. Again.

Oh my goodness, I have been trying to limit myself when it comes to holiday sweets and food, but it's so hard. I've basically given up on that lol.
DeleteLovely to meet you! I hope you're able to rest a while over the Christmas holiday. It's so easy to take on too much this time of year, so a little self care might be just what's needed. It's definitely okay if not everything's perfect! By the way, I love your kids names - I have a little boy called Gabriel and it's his first Christmas too. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and new year!
ReplyDeleteHi Bella! Thank you so much. I hope you and your family have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope your little Gabriel has an amazing first Christmas.
