So much in coffee, one cup and another.  Finding more love in the morning and what’s sipped. 

In my story, ME, my character and this new freedom that NO ONE can touch or disrupt.  Except myself, humorously enough with my occasional attitude and mood. Wine and its industry, the Sundays,… | Continue reading

Woke at 7 but decided to give myself 20 more, and the kids 30+.  Readied quick for baseball,

And honestly, where is my stoic practice?  Indeed, this is on me.  Not reacting,
