Treating it as a gift….

October 2, 2019
Morning mocha at the Bean Cycle

 

“With everything that has happened to you, you can either feel sorry for yourself or treat what has happened as a gift. Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose.” Dr. Wayne W Dyer

A steady drizzle is falling this morning and the temperature is at 41 degrees. Tonight the low is expected in the high 30’s. Therefore I see the cold and rain as an opportunity and a justification for this mocha latte, as if I needed justification. It’s cold enough for many to be turning their furnaces on and some already have. When I arrived this morning at the Bean Cycle one of the bristas had his coat on. Yep, fall is upon us and I choose this opportunity to have a mocha and enjoy the gift.

    I like the quote, Monte. It’s a simple concept but requires a viewpoint that can be hard to learn, remember or sustain when real-life is pressing upon you. I know there are some times I’ve struggled. However, anytime you can combine mental/spiritual growth and a mocha latte, I’m all for it. 😉 Nice ‘cozy’ image. Keep warm and enjoy the opportunities.
