Blessings, affirmations, grace, and reflection

Good Morning! What a refreshing sleep I had last night. I went to sleep around 8 PM and awoke at 5 AM. I don't consider myself a morning person, but I love how much I can get done when I wake up early. Not that I did anything special, but just having a few moments to myself before starting my very busy day is enough. I have on some Coltrane and was able to actually sit down and drink my coffee rather than stealing sips as I walk toward the door.

So, last night I looked at AU's graduate certificate program that I have been researching. They have exactly what I need! To add icing to the cake they also prepare students for the National Board Certification. Sounds like a winner to me!...

First my coffee grinder that I've had for years stops grinding. Then my coffee maker literally explodes on me this morning. I went to push in the start button and a flame shot out at me. Excuse the pun but I would have been toast! What is going on? I guess I'll be adding a new coffeemaker to my wish list.
