Magical Gifts and Gratitudes: Time

Photo by Author

Today I am keeping it very simple. Though, I may jump on later with more rambling gifts and gratitudes. The weather is warmer today than it has been the last week, so splitting wood and playing with horses is on the agenda for today and tomorrow!!

Last week we ordered a gift we have both been wanting for ourselves. We picked out the coffee grinder, 2 French Presses that are insulated and an Electric Kettle. OH MY. The coffee is so much better than I remembered it being.

I used a French Press for years and years, though when the K-Cups became a thing, they took over. As I recall, I did not want to give up my French Press, but eventually I did. The ease of a k-cup became the norm.

I am so very grateful that we have returned to using the French Press. We each can grind our preferred organic beans and since the French Press is insulated, it stays hot for the perfect amount of time for me to have my 2 cups of coffee.

Most of all, the taste is richer and more robust. These 4 items have brought us both so much joy. Who knew something so simple could be exactly what we needed in our lives.

We don't need the ease of the K-Cup style of brewing coffee anymore. We have time to grind the beans, heat the water and press the coffee. We have time to enjoy our individual coffee recipes. We have time together, as we discuss the agenda for the day and catch up on the news of the day! We are not in a hurry anymore. Life is peaceful and quiet.

I am grateful for the life we live and the time we have to listen to each other and to our wisdom.

Manifest a magical day or more!
