…and, just like that, here we are in a new month, and a new year!
Our monthly coffee gathering is always a much needed break from our day-to-day stuff. This particular coffee date, though is on the tails of two holidays and several days of PTO from work. In fact, my brain is needing some caffeine to remember what actual day it is.
So, shall we have a quick coffee gathering and do some chatting?
Here goes..
At this first coffee gathering for 2026, I’d start the conversation by sharing my December stats. What’s unique for December is the fact that I had several full and half days of PTO, which had me out of my routine. Although I can walk at home, these particular PTO incidents had me running errands (and playing chauffeur to/from the airport for one of my daughters). Also, without doing the Winter Run Streak this year, my running miles were way down. Nonetheless, I’m fine with everything (especially my time on the bike!)
At this gathering, I’d tell you my New Year’s Day run was SO nice! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve gotten out for a morning run, amid bright sunshine. I had ZERO stiffness and I nailed the layers for the 16F temps. Also, the 9:41 pace was the fastest I’ve seen in a while. All good things!
At our coffee gathering, I’d bring out the Jar of Happiness. Anyone remember this, from a year ago? I’d seen this on social media, where you jot down an event that brought you happiness each week and stash it in the jar. Well, there were multiple weeks that had more than just one happy memory. I haven’t had a chance to read through all these 2025 happy memories, but I know I will continue this ritual in 2026. I just need to find a place to put all these 2025 memory tabs, because I just can’t part with them. A first world problem?
At this coffee gathering, I’d also tell you about a slight detail I overlooked on my Garmin challenges. It’s another first world problem, but had I paid a little more attention (and had the opportunity fur a few more skywalks in between the holidays), I would have easily passed the 15 Hour Walking Goal. Oh well…
Finally, since this is a coffee gathering, it’s only appropriate to share this little meme I stumbled upon. As much as I adore the heavenly aroma of coffee, the taste just does not work for me. I’ve been on an unsuccessful mission to acquire a taste for it, but it still tastes like hot pond water to me. Sorry, not sorry to all the coffee lovers out there.
If we were gathered for coffee and chatting, what would have to share?
Since it's the first weekend of the month, I'm linking this with Deborah and Coco for the Ultimate Coffee Date
