... coffee every morning with Max Lucado is my current therapy du jour. That's Lucado with a long "A" and I found that out listening to some of Max's Upwords on his website:
I've resisted the impulse to go to Max's website, highlight and copy some of his best stories and paste them here for you to read. If you want to read Max Lucado, do it the right way. Go buy one of his books or go check one out at your library. You owe it to yourself to take him seriously.
Day before yesterday I had a big grin at one of Max's stories. He tells of going to the church gym to play basketball. The players are made up of a diverse age and size variety, Max calls the "flat bellies" and the "fat bellies."
The flat bellies are agile and admired for their precision moves. They score a high percentage of baskets as the morning workout progresses. They are however, very tolerant and respectful of the fat bellies.
the fat bellies are very respectful of the flat bellies and admire their precision moves, their high basket scores and their youth and vitality.
The flat bellies respect the fat bellies because the fat bellies have the keys to the gymnasium in their pockets.
We all need to go through life remembering who has the keys to the gymnasium in their pocket.
I'd heard this story before, probably in one of Sherry's sermons (she's been reading Max Lucado for years).
Two battleships have been in stormy seas for days on manuevers off the Pacific Coast. In the early morning hours, still stormy with visibility at near zero, the intercom crackles "forward lookout to bridge, there's a light dead ahead." Because of the weather, the Captain has remained on the bridge and responds, "Forward lookout, this is the Captain, keep observing the light and tell me if it moves starboard or port or remains steady. If it remains steady it means we are on collision course."
A little while later the forward lookout reports the light is remaining steady. The captain sends a signalman out who flashes the message. "Light off point bow, change your course twenty degrees." From the light there comes the signal, "You change your course twenty degrees." The captain has the signalman send, "I am the Captain of this vessel and I command you to change your course by twenty degrees." The response comes, "I am a Yeoman 2nd Class and I instruct you to change your course twenty degrees."
Enraged, the Captain has this message sent, "This is a United States Battleship, change your course twenty degrees." From the light comes the response, "This is a lighthouse, change your course twenty degrees."
I don't need to finish this story. But the question that begs being answered is, "How much of our time do we spend demanding that lighthouses change their courses?"
I got Karen's beautiful red sunset shortly after I'd finished my "Coffee with Max" session and this thought came to mind.
An unusually percentage of males have a visual abnormality known in laymen's terms as "red-green color blindness."
During World War II, one of the sad things was the number of qualified young men who wanted to be aircraft pilots, but were color-blind. As I recall, they became bombardiers or navigators or maybe gunners. They can't be policemen. They will live and die and never know what the color "red" looks like.
I've tried to image how you could describe with words the color "red" to someone, to lessen their loss. I haven't even come up with a vague outline.
The question we all need to ask is, "What are our color-blind spots, our blind spots? What are the things we will never be able to fathom because of a flaw in one of the five senses?" If we know ourselves, our strengths (like the keys to the gym in our pocket) and our weaknesses (like color-blindness) and accept them, we'll be better able to deal with life.
The simplest coffees are the richest, without the need for decorations or additions.
The lighting of the commercial area allowed to enhance the blur or also called "bokeh".
(NOTE: Photograph taken at Centro Comercial Xanadú, Móstoles, Madrid, Spain, with a Nikon Z 6 II camera and a Meyer Optik Görlitz Primoplan 58mm F1.9 II lens for Z mount, with the diaphragm fully open, F1.9. This lens does not have electronic communication pins with the camera, hence some metadata is missing, since focus and aperture are controlled entirely manually.)
CAFÉ MAÑANERO, 2023
Los cafés más sencillos son los más ricos, sin necesidad de adornos ni añadidos.
La iluminación de la zona comercial permitió realzar el desenfoque o también llamado "bokeh".
(NOTA: Fotografía tomada en el Centro Comercial Xanadú, Móstoles, Madrid, España, con una cámara Nikon Z 6 II y una lente Meyer Optik Görlitz Primoplan 58mm F1.9 II para montura Z, con el diafragma totalmente abierto, F1.9. Esta lente no tiene pins de comunicación electrónica con la cámara, de ahí que falten algunos metadatos, ya que el enfoque y la apertura de diafragma se controlan de manera totalmente en manual.)
Here is my view as I sip my first cup of coffee and listen to the singing cardinals, wrens, finches, chickadees and vireos. Life is good.

Winter's hit, with full force here in the UK and, gosh, it feels cold out there! Bringing some much needed winter cheer with homemade chocolate mincemeat muffins and some nice hot coffee!
This is essentially a SOOC double exposure made in a local coffee shop using exposure and white balance shifts between frames and camera angle rotation to merge the geometries.

As the cost of living continues to rise , coffee and cake is becoming an expensive luxury.
Wellington, Somerset, UK.
was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one.”
― Dr. Seuss
Time flies with coffee and good friends.
But, there were empty chairs around that table.
We missed some. Wished they were filled too.
One day soon!
ad interim*, sigh!
*the latest word I learnt ;)
When I approached my coffee machine this morning, I saw these layered shadows displayed in front of the machine. Even though the shadows had depth, tonality and wonderful form, they were displayed on a flat surface, in only 2 dimensions. I felt as if I was viewing a hologram. Of course, my camera came to hand and eye.
Its best to do, drinking a hot coffee in a rainy day and enjoy listening music. Slow enjoyable relax days.wish you happy days my dear fellows.
The White Swan Building was built in 1925 Buchanan & Builders by and designed by Thomas S. Byrne & Company. It was originally known as the Waples-Platter Coffee Roaster Building.
The Waples-Platter Coffee Roaster stands as an excellent example of an early twentieth century industrial facility in Dallas. This was the third and grandest of the company's coffee roasters, and this facility was the last to remain.
In 1978, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. This building is located near the West End on Lamar Street in Downtown Dallas.

If you've been following me in Flickr long, you know I have a thing for Middle East, especially for what they call "Balad el Sham" (the countries of sun - Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine). I love how it feels home, despite the differences. I like how people are full of smiles, and always ready to help.
Just as we were out of Aljoun citadel, I saw this man selling tea and coffee, and when I asked if I can take a photo of him he said, "Of course!", and smiled a very charming smile.
Thanks for your visit and have a great day!
