  • Spending time with

    Describe one habit that brings you joy.

    Friends & my husband over coffee. On the weekends we have coffee together in the morning & the afternoon & I always look forward to it.

    The same goes for my friends, having coffee with them & catching up is always fun! Having coffee is just a bonus. Anyway, I like having new places to go & have coffee & something sweet.

    I think it’s a great way of having community. By going out & having coffee in a different place each time. I tend to go where customer service is good & coffee taste great.

  • Write about a random act of kindness you’ve done for someone.

    Today, I helped clear the bar at my favorite café as I knew who was working. I was thanked for something that I really appreciate.

    Being thankful for people that are either attentive or kind I always thank, by doing a random act of kindness. I feel that too few people are grateful for what people do.

    How do you thank the universe?
