Some people living in one day at a time recovery visit family members for coffee. Whether we have it on the deck on a sunny day when summer is winding down or in the kitchen when fall is in the air more often than not it is a pleasant experience. Being with family makes the day, and sharing coffee accentuates the enjoyment. There is no reason to take offense at anything during these enjoyable times. Our false-selves (the ego, the cynic and what life has made us) usually lives at bay during such times. It might even go to sleep for a while. This often happens when we are at peace and the false-self stays quiet. We are experiencing the reality of love and comfort. In other words during these times we are comfortable in our own skins and we are are grateful. Such times are the gift of grace. Peace.
