Pardon the pun here but this post has been brewing in my head for many weeks. I thought about calling this post “Alcohol + Caffeine” but decided “Wine + Coffee” was more appealing. As it turns out, the post is about all four.

A Prayer Re-Do
Recently I was fortunate enough to go to London to watch the Broncos play a game against the Jaguars. Friends have asked me (and still are) how my trip was. I like to be transparent and sincere in my responses especially when I know that the person asking is genuinely asking. The trip itself was nice, but my life after has been forever changed.
Three Wishes
I’m currently on a “Mother/Daughter NY City” trip and of course going to church on Sunday was part of the itinerary. I am so glad that my daughter didn’t fight me on this event. I think years of my efforts are beginning to pay off.
PERMA*
I have to admit, I downloaded the book Flourish on Audible because I wanted to know what my daughter was studying over the summer (she gets 1/2 a credit for school). I thought if I learned what the book was about, we could have something to talk about. When I read the title of the book Flourish, I figured that I could only benefit from this information and there was no down side to reading (listening) to it. So I used one of my Audible credits to get the audio version and when I got in the car for the 13 hour drive from Denver to Minneapolis, I chose to listen to Flourish out of the four books that I had in my cue.
#7
The number seven is a popular number. Besides being worn by many great athletes like Elway, there are many positive associations with the number. I may be one of few but I actually consider the “7 Year Itch” theory a positive thing. And who doesn’t like belting out Take Me Out the Ball Game during the 7th Inning Stretch?
Time To Get Spiritual
I waited until the last minute to decide which habit I would work on for the 365 days in 2021. I knew that I was already going to try to ride the Peloton bike once or twice a week and I knew that I was going to try to cook more meals. But I needed something that I could do every day; a habit for 365 days. It had to be something small, almost like a “no brainer” or hard to skip. In doing this habit daily, the year’s effort would add up to be significant. More importantly, the habit should have the potential to continue for years.
