I love to know that I am not the only one that sometimes creates those moments of pause or parenthesis not only because they are needed but sometimes because they are wanted, I love to sit alone drinking coffee or juice and see the people sitting around me or in their careers and let the world keep spinning while I take a break from so much running that never fails either by daily work or unforeseen events, sometimes you have to pause and then resume with more and better strength and courage, this part of your publication I loved it: 

...I thought about how lucky I am that my feet touched the ground when I woke up, that I have a roof over my head, a job, food on the table, some good people around me and the mentality of gratitude to put it all together.

Not everyone has those things and recognizing that you have them and being grateful is a great thing and even though you can yearn for more and work towards it you have to be grateful for what you have.


PS: the cookie looks delicious.

I can commiserate with your hectic morning, my last two days were like that, Monday was panic stations. I'm glad you were able to reset the day with a nice coffee. Do you ever feel a sense of anti-climax after a session of hectic busy-ness? 

Some insight from my personal perspective - sometimes what we deem as our 'imperfections' are some of the endearing and most appreciated little quirks that others appreciate about us. 

I have a fun story about a friend of mine's wedding speech I'll write about sometime but it's too long for here. Really enjoyed this post.  

I wish a lot of people could pretty much understand this, no one can really be perfect. I love what you did here
>Anyway, as I enjoyed my perfect enough moment, the pairing of perfect enough coffee and cookie, I contemplated my less-than-perfect nights' sleep, my less-than-perfect morning attitude and the less-than-perfect start to my working day but instead of lament the imperfection I thought how fortunate I am that my feet hit the ground when I woke, that I have a roof over my head, a job, food on the table, a few good people around me and the mindset of gratitude to bind it all together.

If we can try as much as possible to cherish our perfect enough moments and look forward to discovering new things about ourselves each time, life would be a lot more easier.

As much as you were able to eat that cookie, they're things I'll love to do without being judged, things I shouldn't do, but then it'll be quite a little so I'll not regret it later, hehe.

Have a great day ❤️✅

I was inevitably moved because I remembered the many times I was alone in cafes just thinking and enjoying the breeze and the coffee. I chose the open spaces with table service. I wanted and needed to be served. Being there alone with me was the best moment to recharge my batteries, of course always enjoying a creamy and sweet coffee with milk. 
These moments should be part of our agenda. Everything cannot be work, family and home. A little time and space for ourselves is almost essential. 
Thank you very much for your very descriptive account. I'm glad you were able to be there enjoying your coffee. 

Regards.

Oh I started to practice this kind of gratitude mentality too and it definetely helps in the hard days. It takes daily practice to see the half full part of the glass.

That's right friend, I think that nature is perfect everything around us is perfect what we make of it imperfect is our lack of gratitude, just seeing how we sleep and that nothing guarantees us to wake up and we can open our eyes is wonderful, good post friend. greetings, life and health so that you continue in your work successfully. 🙏

I like the way you take a moment for yourself, not that you needed it, but that you wanted it and made it happen. It's always the small things that mean the most. Some days when I'm hit with everything too fast, too much of it, and too little time, I forget to take that moment and just be.

I used to think that being perfect was what I wanted oh, but you are right in that there is nothing in this world that is perfect and even if there was, how do you improve on perfect? Perfect enough sums it up in the best way possible. I believe it is those unique little features in the imperfections that bring a smile to my face most times. I guess it's hard for me to explain but it's in those imperfections that I find what I am looking for.

Your moment sounds perfect enough especially the little cookie, probably because you shouldn't have it but it's a little does it really make a difference? No judgment here. It's those small things that make me aware of how much I really have in life. My life will never be perfect but I am not looking for Perfection either. I have no idea how, but most days your thoughts really hit you between the eyes - and by you, I mean me. Thank you and good night!

It's nice just sitting at the coffee shop and watch time and people go by. That's a moment to cherish.

I agree.  Perfection does not exist within humans.  Not one of us can ever be perfect and we should never try to be perfect for that reason.
The coffee and cookie looks so good but it's funny that I just made a post about quitting coffee😉

Have a nice day @galenkp

A nice coffee sounds like a good way to relax after a hectic quote, as long as it doesn't get the heart racing even more I suppose lol.

I always like those little cookies that they serve with coffee. 

"Perfect enough" is a good way of looking at things - a good mantra for life. 

Hello Galen,
I really like what you have highlighted here: 1) the importance of "me time" regardless of what it is (and coffee is always a great idea). 2) That perfection should never be our aim, instead, it's better to aim and thrive for continuous improvement.
Nice post, and I am happy that you ate the cookie 😋
Have a nice evening:)

Whoa - this sounds like... the perfect post, world, something. Seriously, it sounds pretty perfect in an imperfect way. Always seeking something better yet realizing that the status quo is pretty perfect already, right?

I enjoyed this and wished I was sitting in a cafe people watching and coffee slurping, cookie crunching - good times.

I hope you're having a good weekend, Galen!

A great way to look at things!

> I took a moment for myself today; I didn't need the moment, but wanted it, so made it happen by dropping into a café I frequent from time to time and sitting with a coffee and cookie watching the world go by.


This alone is all the self care we need sometimes...

> I don't want a perfect relationship or life, I want to keep working towards it as that's what brings satisfaction; the journey and it's moments.

Amen to that. 🥃
