I'm back in Cafe 1134 again. There's something about coffee shops and Coronado that make me feel so relaxed. It's like an escape, a safe haven where I can sip a delightful beverage and watch the world pass by, all the while choosing not to participate in it's rushed atmosphere. I especially love coming to a place like this with no time frame, choosing to stay as long as I please. It's freeing.
Anyway, tonight is a little different than most because it's the Christmas Festival! Families are lined up on the sidewalks watching a parade of children, bands, and floats from around the community walk down the main street, which to my advantage can be clearly seen from the loft of this charming little cafe covered in festive twinkle lights. I came here somewhat melancholy, but I am certain that after watching the most beautiful sunset on campus and now experiencing all of this I am sure to leave with a happy tummy and a much lighter heart. While sitting here attempting to tackle the mounds of work ahead of me these next two weeks, I've been listening to Pandora and I heard the most encouraging song! I wanted to share the lyrics, but it's not as impacting without the video. God is wonderful and so good. Despite feeling a little lonely, I feel so loved tonight.
P.S. Santa just drove by on a firetruck. :)
