Happy Friday!

The sun came back today. I'm hoping to get a swim in tomorrow - how about you?

Coffee love

Am loving coffee so much at the moment that I'm thinking of giving it up for a while! Well, maybe I could reduce my intake by half instead - if only I had one of these cute cups to help me...

Recently, fasted coffee for 40 days without a problem, but since then my daily intake has been rising from 1 to 2 to 3 cups a day. In fact I could rate how well my day is going by the number of coffees I drink. Hope today is a 1 Cup Day!

It's strange as I gave up cigarettes and alcohol over 10 years ago without a problem and I've heard that nicotine is harder to give up than heroin - but I'm finding coffee so much harder to say goodbye to. Is it the warm frothy milk or the sprinkling of chocolate or the buzz of the bean that I crave? Or is it all in my head.....

Lost: One summer

If found please return to Sydney-siders at Sydney, Australia. Thank you.

Seriously, though between the weather and the recent shark attacks no-one is getting into the water! Just when I was enjoying a newly started ritual of a 7.30am Saturday swim down at Bondi . It's what makes my heart sing! John Eldrege in his book, "Waking the Dead" poses the question, "What does your heart need?" And goes on to say, "For some, it's music; for others it's reading; for still others it's gardening." Made me wonder, "What does your heart need"? Is it the ocean (sharks and all!) like me? Or something else.

Happy Friday!

Looks like we're in for a wet Sydney weekend - enjoy!
