rise and shine

Benjamin Franklin apparently quoted, "Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."  With that said, I think coffee is living proof that this same God wants me to get my fanny out of bed...the early morning wake ups, whether it be a little person who wants to snuggle, the project that needs completion or my early rising & runner husband...thank God for coffee! 

This last week has been a whirlwind of activity.  I am studying for my real estate licensing exams...ugh!...I don't know how people go back to college with a family.  There are also many home details in the works because everyone wants their houses beautiful for Thanksgiving.  My biggest thanks...that my mother-in-law, Camille, is hosting Thanksgiving dinner...God bless her!

If your week has been as nutty and exciting as mine...stop a minute and treat yourself to a good cup of "joe."  Then smile, and run out to meet the world that is waiting for your gifts.
