My friend Julie introduced me to sprinkling cinammon on top of the coffee grounds before making the coffee.  When the coffee maker has worked its magic, I add a little cream and voila.  Happiness in a cup!  I am now ready for my day!  I enjoy beginning my morning with a really good cup of coffee.

I also like slippers.  Soft, cushy, fluffy, preferably pink slippers.  Unfortunately, so does my dog.  That I don’t like so much.

I love cool mornings and sunny days and light breezes.  I love the change of seasons and the memories they evoke of what has been and of what is coming.   Now Autumn, I love the quickly changing colors of the aspens and the scrub oak.  Green this morning, golden tonight.  Tomorrow, blown off their branches by the increasing wind.   That, I don’t like so much.

But okay, bare branches against the sky possess their own unique beauty.  And in the frost of Winter, when they are laced with ice, they will glisten with a shimmering artistry.  I like that.  I do.

It’s slipping on the ice that I don’t like so much.

Two sides to a coin.  I like more than I don’t.  There is a beauty to every season of the year as with every season of my life.  Today, the flickering of the leaves in the wind and the rushing waterfall sound they make, remind me that though I can’t hold on to the moment as I would like, God is in it.  And he is in the next one too.

I like that very much.
