Ode to a coffe-maker...

Coffee makers are a little like really good friends. You learn them..you know their nuances and you adapt to their whims. Coffee makin' is an art/science-ish, kinda mix. Temperature, brewing time, measurement (I have an old pickle jar I use to make sure just the right amount of water goes into the mix...doubt I could make coffee without it). That being said...no K-cups for me. Oh I was seduced...for about a month...but there is no give and take...no relationship. I will miss my dear old friend...but I will find another. Thank you for all you gave.

Decisions...decisions

Right in the middle of having a little hissy fit...something told me that I had a choice...that I could squash it ...or keep going. Choices abound.

Word of the day...Resolve

re·solve n.

1. Firmness of purpose; resolution: 2. A determination or decision; a fixed purpose: 

I've been looking everywhere for it.  I had it, I remember...it felt strong.  

Now...it appears to be missing.

Perhaps I held on to it a little to tight.  Perhaps I crushed it and it slipped through my fingers like sand.

Resolve can turn into dogma if one isn't careful, perhaps I simply released it.
