refresh!

COFFEE…JOURNAL…refreshing isn’t it? Well, I thought so, that’s why I posted this for Illustration Friday’s word for the week.

Sometimes that’s all I need to start the day off right! A few words of thought and a few sips of enlightenment… I mean, coffee. The elixir of enlightenment. Well, some would say the elixir of irritable bowels and just plain irritable-ness! But I like that moment of “ahhh..” from my first sip.

Refreshing, isn’t it??

Not too Late

These two objects don’t really go together at all (tomato and coffee mug if you were wondering what those two objects were) but they were on my straw mat this morning as I was meditating. I advise that coffee really isn’t something you want to be drinking while trying to meditate. I simply just could not focus! Jitter bug that I am…

The tomato came from my very own tomato plant and it’s just about to turn red ( I pick them early because I have some pesky birds that will try to eat them if I don’t pick it early enough). I guess green tomatoes are bitter and so is black coffee…that would be the only correlation with the two (that and they come from some kind of plant). How do I turn those into a meditation practice? Well, I didn’t, I just turned it into an opportunity to draw!

It’s not too late to find random things and turn it into some creativity!
