No, I never even posted pt. 1. But I will... probably. someday. I think.
I am content in the USofA. I am exactly where I need to be, right now. I seriously worried about coming back to Texas. No need to worry, I know this... I've learned a sad, awkward and blubbery lesson in trust. ;) Plus, you know I still love Cowtown.

excuse me, i meant
#COFFEESHOP
Dear coffeeshop,
How do I love thee?
Let me count the ways: [obscurely]
... in 7 pairs of skinny jeans.
... in 9 plastic-rimmed spectacles.
... in 4 legit beards and 1 great 'stache.
... 8 laptops.
... 1 table talking too loudly.
... 1 interview meeting.
... 1 date.
... 1 bowtie.
... dreads.
... 547986 tattoos (basically a lot).
I usually blog about Thailand experiences, my own life's changes and growth, Jesus, ya know, interesting stuff.
But today, i am totally channeling my inner hipster, sporting my denim skinnies (cuffs rolled up), headband, plastic-rimmed glasses, big earrings and of course, wedge high heels.
Ope! in walked 2 new pairs of skinnies. Make that 11 pairs of skinny jeans.
well anyway, here is why i'm blogging about this ---
because i felt like it.
I currently work three FABULOUS jobs that I TOTALLY love (no, my descriptions are not amplified), but this means that I am i n s a n e l y busy this month. My email stopped working today, but perhaps this is a blessing in disguise. I'm being trained in keeping a zero inbox. YAY. Didn't even know that was possible, and < --- that's hard to admit. But, if I'm going to keep up with two worlds that are oceans apart, it's important that I organize my online life.
email dies = kt rests
So, I'm at this #coffeeshop and completely enjoying people-watching. The baristas are the best; I love seeing people enjoying their jobs. This shop has THE best house blend in my city. bold statement? bold coffee. honest girl.
Life back at home is full, refreshing, moving forward, and I am again, thankful.
Can you see my thankfulness?
Can you hear it?
I hope you can feel it, most of all.
Because my soul is shouting it in my hugs, in my hard work, in the conversations I have with you, and I bet, and I hope, that the baristas at this coffeeshop can feel it, too, and I want them to be curious about it.
What is it about a coffeeshop that unlocks a writer's brain? or an artist's inspiration? or a photographer's eye?
Whatever it is, I am thankful for it. I get it, too.
And I'm thankful for peace. For simplicity, for eclecticism. For singleness readitagain< ---. For coffee and hipsters!

To quote Paul in his letter to Philippi,
I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. [YEP] I can do all things through Him who gives me strength.
-Philippians 4:11-12
welp, it's true, but it's a growing place, as well. It comes with time and with something bigger than myself to rely upon. I can adapt, I can accept, I can be content, this Perceiver can make decisions, [ONLY] through Him who gives me strength.
I am strong in Him, WATCH OUT. haha.
Do I have this contentment thing down pat? umno. Thanks for appreciating the records of my growth data, though, I hope it makes you look up and around with new perspectives.
Dear #coffeeshop,
you're so inspirational,
keep up the good brew.
sincerely,
