Today is my day off...so what do I do with myself? Go sit in a coffee shop for a few hours, of course. Usually I frequent a fun little Dunn Bros just a few blocks away, but today I thought I'd mix it up so I went to Starbucks. I love Starbucks, but the internet let me down. I suppose it all worked out though because I got to read and journal with no temptation to be easily distracted.
In my time of transition, I've learned to embrace solitude. Everything is SO different. New job, new co-workers, new city, new roommate, but one of the biggest changes I'm adjusting to is the change of pace. I've always been so used to constantly being surrounded by people, and having the choice of when I want to be alone. Now I am often by myself until something else comes up. As much as I'm not sure if I like all of this "me" time, it's giving me time to learn about myself and time to spend in prayer and time with Jesus.
Though the job hunt still haunts me, I have plenty to be thankful for. This past weekend, I spent some quality time with great friends which was so comforting. And while there is much that is unknown in my life, there is much to look forward to...more new things, fall and Starbucks pumpkin spice mochas :)
They have pumpkin spice mochas?? Is it like the best of both chocolate and pumpkin worlds. Perhaps pumpkin waffles would compliment it well.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if Starbucks has the mocha but Caribou does...the latte is also joy in a cup that I'm sure would go just wonderfully with some pumpkin waffles :)
