Sitting at Mooloolaba on the beach having another skinny flat white is one of my favourite time wasting activities. But then I realised that these moments when I am sipping on a steaming hot coffee, have become an essential part of my life.
These moments give me opportunity to do a whole lot of important things.
They allow me to kick back and chill out a little.
They allow me to think
They allow me to dream
They allow me to catch up with friends
They allow me to catch up with my facebook and twitter friends.
They allow me to put things into perspective – nothing is more important than a great coffee
They allow me to spend time in conversation with strangers
They allow me to forgive people as I settle down and realize they didn’t mean it the way I took it.
They allow me to phone people God has put ony heart and give them a word of encouragement.
They allow me to connect with my team in a friendly environment.
They allow me to watch the world go by
They allow me to plan my next diet regime which takes a lot of planning.
They allow me to pray with people who open up to strangers over a coffee.
And so the list goes on.
I have come to appreciate the power of a skinny flat white in my life and now make sure that there is always time for just one more. SJP
