Thank you! We've come to a good agreement, just need him to follow through. Things are looking up for the boy right now. I'm feeling positive, and he's feeling positive. The principal now needs to do his part.
I try to make coffee an event, even if it's just to stop and enjoy the act of sipping it for a split second.
Word up to that! "Let me finish my coffee first," is a statement that should never be taken lightly by those who it was directed toward. There is nothing quite like sitting in comfort and knowing that the coffee in hand is at just the perfect temperature. Yes, let me finish that first, and then I will face whichever crisis has presented itself.
Good news and I'm glad for both of you.
I am sitting in a café right now, two coffees in. I have just written the first draft of an 1800 word fiction post about a man and war that I will post in 24 hours. I'm not going to credit the coffee for the words, but the moment in which I'm in, the setting, the comfort of it and the coffee combine to help me write. That's an event.
