The Right Creamer…

A Day without Coffee
..

Introduction

I do not know why I thought I could start my day without a cup of coffee and not get a headache.  It has been a long time since I walked out of my front door before drinking my favorite beverage. 

I ran out of coffee creamer. There was French vanilla creamer in the fridge, but if it’s not vanilla ice cream I do not want it. Vanilla will never lighten my coffee cup. Yes, I tried it once and once was enough.

Today was the first time I ever had two cups of coffee after 7am, after I got back from Walmart, with three bottles of my favorite coffee creamer. 

MMMMMMMMM Coffee was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO So GOOD!

Well, now I can really start my day.

Day 1…

I am rethinking how I am going to get to the beach and how I am going to improve my life. I am done waiting for a miracle, because miracles cannot happen without work or faith. 

 Matthew 13:58 NIV   And he did not do many miracles there, because of their lack of faith.  https://bible.com/bible/111/mat.13.58.NIV

I knew what I had to do to get where I wanted, but was unsure on how to get there. I thought if I talked to others who said they could and would help me it would be a good idea. In the end that was a shortcut and if you think taking a shortcut will help you win? Nope, you may not even cross the finish line.

Proverbs 21:5 NIV The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.  https://bible.com/bible/111/pro.21.5.NIV 

I had to go back to knowing who I am. It’s not that I don’t want to trust people, but some just don’t want you to get ahead of them. I may not be where I want to be, but then again everyone has to start at day 1 before they get to where I want to be. 

Psalms 17:5 NIV My steps have held to your paths; my feet have not stumbled.  https://bible.com/bible/111/psa.17.5.NIV

It’s time I get back to working on my book as well as keeping up with my crochet projects.

A New Look at Fruits Basket

Photo by Leeloo The First on Pexels.com

I gave up looking for a new anime to watch and started rewatching some of my favorites. I watched “Fruits Basket” , a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Natsuki Takaya. It is also a shƍjo manga magazine.  I started watching this series with different eyes and saw each character  in a new light.

Tohru Honda is trying to live her life the best she can, but she is holding onto a promise to her late mother that no mother wants to be kept. She thought that she should only love her mother and live her life through her mother’s words. A parent only wants the best for their child and as a child they should remember their parents with all their love and kindness they shared together.  

Tohru Honda  is a kind and caring person and people will always turn to that light. She had to be true to herself in order to really be loved in the end.

Kyo Sohma was never shown any love as a child and grew up with so much hatred.  There were a few who treated him like a person, but he still felt like an outsider. He was kept outside of the family he always wanted, but it was Tohru Honda who actually taught him what love was.

The whole Sohma family all wanted love and to be loved, but going about it in a different way. They shared an invisible bond that should have never been made. The head of the family  Akito Sohma wasn’t given a choice to be herself, so she took her frustration out on others, especially the girls. She was beyond jealous, because she was forced to live her life as a boy. 

This family has secrets not just with outsiders, but from each other. Each member fought to be themselves and to be free of their family bond. The adults just accepted it, but Izuka and Tohra wanted that bond to be broken. They knew in order for everyone to be truly loved they would have to be free.

Yuki Sohma was seen as the luckiest person in the family, because Akito paid attention to him the most. They didn’t know how much he was being put down with so many negative words that it would have broken anyone’s spirit.

I believe everyone was looking at the world through  Tohru Honda’s eyes. She was kind and thought everyone should feel the same.  We all laugh, cry, feel pain, but most of all. We all want to be free to love and be loved.

This is my take on Fruits Basket

It’s time to watch your ideas grow.  Your ideas may start  slow and at time you may think it’s not going anywhere, but if you give up -they will never grow. It’s like a planet the more you give it water,  a little light, and handle it with care your planet will grow like all of your  Good ideas

The End..

Me & Luffy

I am revisiting “One Piece,” from the beginning. Well, I am going to bypass the storyline I don’t like. I didn’t realize how much Luffy and Zora fought. They fought all the time. It’s hard to believe they are really good friends.

The more I think about Luffy. The more I am encouraged to become the person I know I can be. He knew what he wanted to be and didn’t let anyone stop him from becoming a pirate. He may be a pirate, but he is still one of the good guys.

{}  Monkey D. Luffy – Wikipedia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia in this article, the surname is Monkey. Monkey D. Luffy One Piece character.

Monkey D. Luffy (/ˈluːfi/ LOO-fee) (Japanese: ăƒąăƒłă‚­ăƒŒăƒ»Dăƒ»ăƒ«ăƒ•ă‚Ł, Hepburn: MonkÄ« DÄ« Rufi, [ÉŸÉŻÉžiː]), also known as “Straw HatLuffy[n 2], is a fictional character and the protagonist in the Japanese manga series One Piece created by Eiichiro Oda. Luffy made his debut as a young boy who acquires the properties of rubber after accidentally eating one of the Devil Fruits that belonged to “Red Hair” Shanks.

Monkey D. Luffy is the future king of the pirates an is wearing a red jacket with a straw hat, blue jean shorts, a yellow sash, and sandals.{} 

The best thing about watching something I have already watched is, I can work on a crochet project, or organize my words for my next book.

Time to eat, because I have been wanting a cup of tea all day. I was trying to think about what Luffy ‘s favorite food was and realized he loves meat. Oh well, I am going to be eating teriyaki pasta with kale greens.

I was looking through youtube to find a recipe I could post, but I didn’t find any. My pasta isn’t fancy
 FoOd is FoOd


Cook your favorite spaghetti. (Don’t throw the water out)

Season the greens with your favorite seasoning. 

I used : onion, garlic, and chili powder. Trader Joe’s 21 seasoning & a little chili lime seasoning. I also added a little cayenne pepper.

I cook the greens almost all the way through, but if you don’t like a little bite you can cook it a little longer in the pasta water.

Once u get the greens to your liking add the cooked pasta and the teriyaki sauce. I use this one, because it has less salt in it.
