Coffee Goals

Fosters Coffee East Lansing, Michigan

One of my goals is to drive through all 50 states and have a cup of coffee.

Ideally, Safe and Soder will build my van. For part of the trip I’d like my brother to come along and film our time together. The rest of the time I’d like to explore the states alone.

I’ve bought a map — large type — my eyes prefer big these days. When life seems to much, I plan out a day or two. It’s good for my mental health. An old friend suggested this idea when I was in my 20’s, we would plan elaborate trips to far off destinations. This was a delightful cup of coffee after a long drive. I had the Vanilla Bourbon Latte with oat milk.

On Sunday morning before I leave part of my heart at Michigan State University, We will have breakfast, and of course, coffee.

Navigating life has its ups and downs. For some reason the ups never last as long as the downs. When we focus on the good, like simple joys like coffee, we gradually build our resilience.
