If You And I Had Coffee

If you and I had coffee...

We'd meet up at this new-to-me coffee shop that we heard about. We'd order some iced coffee and some pastries. We'd stay indoors since it'll be our first visit to this particular coffee shop. I love finding new coffee shops, and one day maybe I'll write a list of all my favorite ones.

If you and I had coffee...

I'd tell you that my heart is breaking over what is happening to Ukraine. I don't even have the words to really say much about the situation going on over there. Whenever I read a news article or watch a video, my heart breaks even more. Usually, I'll take a break from watching the news when I start feeling like it's overwhelming, but I can't stop watching the news. Every day, I hope that the war is over.  

If you and I had coffee...

I'd tell you that I'm still grieving, and I've realized that it's never going to go away. I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but grieving comes in waves for me. Some months are more challenging than others. For instance, March is always a difficult month for me since it's the month that we lost my baby brother. Sometimes, when my sons hit milestones, I think of my little brother. I'm still feeling the signs of grief this month, but surprisingly, it's less intense than how I felt last month. 

If you and I had coffee...

I'd tell you that I am currently working on pieces that I'd like to submit to some magazines and blogs. I would love to have my work published in a magazine or blog this year, but I'll be proud to submit it even if it's not selected. Here's to hoping that I still have the courage to submit my articles once they are complete.

If you and I had coffee...

I'd tell you that I'm so excited for spring! The hints of spring are appearing, and I love it! The flowers are blooming, and I love seeing the blossoms on my favorite tree. It still feels a little chilly in the mornings, but in the afternoon, it's warm. The only downfalls are the wasps and pollen. Those two things are simply the worst. 

If you and I had coffee...

I'd tell you that I'm glad we were able to meet up. Coffee chats always make my day. I hope you have a great month. I can't wait for our next coffee date.

What would you tell me?

Thanks for visiting!

Until next time...
