I hear ya!
Happy Sunday and Happy wait for it…..NOVEMBER!!
A good friend chased me down after church this morning, “I need your help my friend!” Sure….what’s up?
“Well, to make a long story short, my bride just loves your Sunday stories and now every Sunday morning I can’t get her face out of the iPhone….she’s checking in every 5 minutes for your newest post!!”
Okay, I might be blushing a little. I’m honored. I did say you can set “notifications” on FB and he clearly did not like that answer….. But, we’re friends so his next ask was pretty blunt. Can you please just have them ready first thing in the morning? It puts her in such a good mood and that’s my favorite version of her by far!!
Yes, now I’m really blushing….
I’m so glad you like Salsa Guy Cafe food AND our stories. Lord knows, I have a GINORMOUS backlog of material to share.
And then it really occurred to me how BLESSED I am to have such moments, stories and CONNECTIONS with so many of you.
I’m going to make GRATITUDE my official word of the month for November. It’s truly one of the most important skills to practice EACH AND EVERY DAY!
Here’s my evidence from just a few minutes ago.
Outside doing a little yard work….oh yeah, it’s also one of my least favorite days of the year because it will now be dark outside at 4-something o’clock and I just despise this day each year…..
Then I overwhelm myself with gratitude and march forward!!
It’s November, and just moments ago: I just stopped to inhale the fragrant lilacs that are blooming in my yard. What else? How about a new crop of strawberries getting ready to drop and still picking and enjoying fresh tomatoes, ripe off the vine.
Then it got a lot better! In our front flower garden I spied a MONARCH butterfly feeding on the beautiful blooms that are still bursting with health and color…..
You just can’t make this up!!!
So, I will do my best starting next week to hatch out a new Sunday story just in time for your first cup of coffee!! As for today, I’m outside from now until dark and then I’ll get busy with this weeks episode….
Get outside and ENJOY this day!!
