COFFEE TALK #101

COFFEE and REFLECTIONS I've learned through my 70 plus years on the planet that life is a photo album of fleeting moments and memories. Many good and some bad, but all of them in the rear-view mirror, are snap-shots of where I've been and what I've done. As my mind sees the roads I've traveled, I'm reminded of successes and failures, chances I've taken and those I didn't. My head is a box of hindsight crammed full of experiences that brought me to the place I am right now. It's a startling realization that most often when I felt I was in control, the honest reality is, I wasn't in control at all. Each of the days I've lived have been a piece of a puzzle that is titled, "My Life". I've had regrets, sadness, but many more blessings that have made me who I am. My past can't be changed, nor can my future be known. Today, is the only day I have. Another opportunity to reflect on lessons and experiences from all the photos in my mind, knowing that I'd not be here without each and every one of them. My life is family, friends, random people, who I have laughed with and cried with. Some of them are close, some have moved on, and sadly some are gone. But all of them have been on this ride through life with me. All of them are a piece of my puzzle. Each new morning, while enjoying my coffee and giving thanks and gratitude for all that I have, I'm aware that without this photo album of feelings and reflections, I wouldn't be me. I thank God for this day, knowing He will walk with me as I try to get today right. And if I fall short of getting it right, I pray He will give me another chance tomorrow to try again. HELLO TODAY, thank you for allowing me to participate!
