Please, don’t ever put sugar in the espresso again.
I didn’t get much sleep last night. Between a night owl roommate and my irregular sleeping habits in general, it was mostly tossing and turning, waiting for morning, blah blah blah. I forced myself to stay in bed until 6:30 and then indulged in some overly sweetened espresso. While sweetened coffee isn’t usually to my tastes, I will gladly welcome as many energy boosts as I can today. But after today, please no more sugar.
I am feeling very challenged this week in the area of contentment and am having trouble reclaiming my joy. I’m sure that the lack of sleep has something to do with it, but the overall everyday discomfort starts to take its toll after a few days as well. God is calling me near and I know that I am safe in His embrace. If I continue to focus on the stumbling blocks, I fear that I might miss the stairs and I know I have so, so much to learn from this experience.
I need to divert my focus and energy towards something constructive and uplifting. I need to reflect on the positive and all that I have to be thankful for. I need to find joy within my circumstances and seek to serve beyond myself.
With that said, I apparently have a lot to do today.
This is all only temporary and, in time, too shall pass.
