Too Hot for the Usual

Sometimes change is good and sometimes you don't see the good until much later.  As you get older and the days go by, you don't notice changes right off the bat but look back and you will see you have come a long way, overcome difficulties you never thought you could, experienced the joys of growth and progression, mourned the losses of what has been lost, and discovered new things about yourself.  As one of my closest friends is getting ready to move to Seattle, my family faces health challenges, and other substantial things, I find myself stressed over the changes that are happening.  However, I will still take time out to have my coffee and remember that change takes adjustment.  Change takes strength.  As you watch the changes happen, you can only truly appreciate it long after the dust has settled.
Today's coffee was at the local Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf.  Joined by the husband and the little one, the three of us sat and discussed the current changes.  Myself, with an iced-blended mocha with whipped cream, the little one with an iced-blended coffee, and the husband with the Thai iced tea special that Coffee Bean is currently running.  My mocha was perfectly swirled and his drink was perfectly, über sugary-as it should be.  It was about 90 degrees when we met up so iced drinks were a must.  We got a great spot on the patio under an umbrella with a small breeze running through.
You may not be able to control the changes but what you can change if your attitude about it.  I try to maintain a positive outlook and find positive solutions to make the changes easier.  You would be surprised how much that really helps.
