A Letter From Miss Sas: Finish Your Coffee

Dear Friend,

I don't know what it is about a Saturday morning, but it just feels different. Maybe it's because nobody's hollerin' that they can't find their shoes yet. Maybe it's because the coffee tastes a little better when you're not watchin' the clock. Or maybe it's because we finally give ourselves permission to slow down for a minute.

Whatever it is... I sure do like it.

I was sittin' here with my coffee this morning thinkin' about all the things we women carry around with us. The lists. The errands. The things that need fixin'. The people who need us.

There's always something waitin'. Laundry don't wash itself, weeds don't pull themselves, and I don't believe I've ever met a dust bunny that packed up and left on its own.

But you know what? Those things will still be there in a little while.

So before this day gets away from both of us, I want you to do one little thing for me. Finish your coffee while it's still hot.

I know that's a simple thing. But us women have a habit of warmin' up the same cup three or four times because we're too busy takin' care of everybody else.

Not today.

Take a few minutes. Listen to the birds. Wave if a neighbor drives by. Take a deep breath. Let yourself enjoy this quiet moment.

The chores can wait five more minutes. And if they don't... Well, they can just get glad in the same pants they got mad in.

I'm gonna finish this cup of coffee before somebody around here remembers they need me.

I hope you have a beautiful Saturday, Friend. And I hope you remember that you deserve a few quiet moments too.
