just small talk.

more coffee pretty please.

i don't always sleep well and last night was such the case.
waking nearly every half hour - restless. sleep was had
but fitful at best. it happens to all of us i suppose. what's
amazing is that i slept through the beep beep of my
coffee maker, finally opening my peepers at 5:28am. 
feet on the ground and in my slippers and zipped robe,
padding to the kitchen where with one eye open 
coffee was poured, cream added, then padding to my
morning perch in the living room - i settled in for the
first sip and the Word. thankful we're going through the
psalms at church - the few chapters read offered peace
and renewal. i don't always choose the Word when i
rise from troubled sleep - those mornings don't progress
well - big surprise. but this morning getting into the Word
brought me to a better place - offering praise to my Savior
and praying for others dear to my heart - one in particular. ♥

"i will trust in the mercy of God forever and ever."
~Ps.52:8b

productive morning. by 9am two loads of laundry completed,
bed made, kitchen cleaned, breakfast which consisted of
sweet strawberries and yogurt,
showered, dressed, a bit of spackle on my aging mug .. 
the latter being a  thankful undertaking. wink. 
will meet a dear friend for a quick lunch before we both
head back home to tend to our independent
vintage trailer project-ridden garages.
there's a broom and dust pan in my afternoon future.
and a can of stain. and glaze. 
on a hope and a prayer i'll make sense of the
trailer cabinets... it's coming along. 
slower than anticipated but coming along.
it'll be a keeper. ♥
