Dear Coffee...

More than any other day of the week, it tends to be Monday and Friday mornings that you need a cup of coffee most. For coffee lovers, nothing else really compares. That’s why this Friday morning, I wanted to take the time to thank coffee. There is perhaps no greater source of motivation on those tired, sleepy mornings at the end of the week than a simple cup of just that. Especially since Friday is my only Morning shift of the entire week. So, without further ado, a thank-you letter to coffee:


Dear Coffee,

It's mornings like this that make me appreciate how wonderful you truly are. I am so glad you were brought to this earth as a tiny bean so that we can brew you and enjoy you.

I prefer you with two teaspoons of sugar and a tiny bit of milk. But some people prefer you iced. And some people prefer you with cream. Some people even prefer you with nothing at all, a great testimony to how perfect you really are.

I just wanted you to know… because sometimes, there is nothing better on a tiresome morning than a good ole cup of joe.
xoxo,
Sharlene (+ the rest of the world!)

What A FEELIN!

life is short. Have a laugh.

You only get one life. Life is short. I'm beginning to realize that our spirits are here on Earth as a test. It's like we're born into this life and into these bodies but we have to remember where we came from and what we're here for because everyone has a purpose and something to offer the world. It's up to each individual as to whether or not you're going to fulfill your purpose and your spirit's full potential or if you're going to just give up because or think life is pointless or whether you're going to do something positive or whether you're going to do something negative etc. We have free will. Everyone is different and experiences bad and good things but that's just life.
I personally feel that life is about living in the moment. I enjoy just being postive. My favourite thing in the world is laughing. Making people laugh is something I love to do. I want to live my life completely postive. When I'm on my deathbed I want to be able to look back on my life with a smile. I did things that people always want to do but never have the balls to or are too self concious. I dont want to look back on my life thinking that I didnt have a happy life. That sounds horrible, doesn't it?
Also life isn't pointless just because you may not make a historical impact. Why would one's life only be meaningful if your name is known throughout history? No one really cares and that's sad to think that all life is meaningless because of that. Not everyone is meant to be a George Washington or Christopher Columbus etc. The little people matter too! Our family, friends, teachers, lovers.
And I do believe in life after death. I believe in it for various reasons but if not for them, what the hell would the point of all this be? What would be the point of life? There IS a point because there's a reason for everything. The good things and the bad. Yes, bad things happen for a reason. It sucks but it's true. I take the bad things I've experienced in life as lessons learned. I learn to be safer, smarter, wiser, more careful, more giving, stronger etc. It all depends on the situation.
Don't let negativity keep you down! You thinking that life is pointless is extremely negative. Get rid of whatever is negative around you. Start being positive and surround yourself with positivity and good experiences will come to you, trust me!
