Friday Coffee Talk

WOO HOO It is FRIDAY!  Time to dance and jump!!    The weekend is almost here.  Do ya have big plans?  What ever you do, do it safe and have a blast!!

Our challenge for today is to speak softly.  Don't be a person with a loud obnoxious tone.  When you speak softly, you attract more people.  Now mind you, it's good to get loud at times and have fun, but I am speaking about the everyday tone in your voice.  I don't know why I chose this topic as a challenge today, but if this fits you, take it in the sweet, nice and polite context it was meant.  Living a loud life is not fun to some and to some it is just them, but let us all be mindful of those around us and speak softly today.  This makes me think of the cartoon with Yosimite Sam where he says, I may be short, and I may be loud, but I also carry a BIG stick!  HEHEHEHE    I hope this challenge makes sense.  Shesh! 

So, who's up this morning?  What cha sipping on?  Me?  I'm enjoying some wonderful Deep Blue Blueberry coffee from my favorite online place called bocajava.com.  Go check it out and get ya self some good coffee.  Sorry for the infomercial but they really do have some awesome flavors!

Love you all and have a blessed and wonderful Friday!

 Your challenge makes sense!  If you are quiet in tone instead of loud & brashy, people are more likely to listen to you. 
I LIKE this challenge!!!!!

BLESSINGS to you my friend this FRIDAY!!!!

Great challenge. While I am usually a somewhat reserved person, I have been told before (by my husband) that sometimes I come off with a certain "tone" in my voice.  I have been working on softening that "tone" so that I don't come off sounding curt or dismissive, but it was something I wasn't even aware that I was doing until it was brought to my attention.  The difference in the reactions I get back from people is amazing.  They, in turm, are much more friendly towards me.  Imagine that!

I'm sippin on a rather strong latte this morning.  My husband didn't wake me up on time and now my coffee is too strong...the day can only go up from here.  I am soooo glad that it's Friday.  I don't have ANY plans for the weekend except R&R.(well, maybe a little laundry thrown in...lol).

Doing the Friday dance with ya!

Good morning Randall!!!!  Yep...I have found that I learn alot more when I am quiet than when I am talking.  I am having me some mixed up coffee this morning.  A little Tarisuma, a little Costa Rican, and a little Brazillian.  (I cleaned out my left overs and put them together.)  It is really pretty good.  I am going to see my boss (who is 6'3" and weighs around 280) dress up as a woman tonight and compete in a "womanless beauty contest".  Ummm needless to say...he is not gonna win, but he sure is brave.  Seriously, they are doing this for gifts for kids (for Christmas) this year.  He is a good guy to be doing this.  You have a great day today.  Love ya!!

Well my goodness Randall, we have never spokeon the phone or in person yet you know how I speak...LOL!  Yes thats right.  When I know some one or feel comfortable around a person I tend tobe loud, but when I am meeting someone for the first time or have not known a person for a long time I tend to not say much and be quiet.  So I accept your challenge and will try my best to lower my tone!

Thank you each day for sharing the flavor of your coffee.  I have decided to make some Christmas Gift purchases from bocajava.com.  I personaly dont like coffee but I have several family members that love their coffee! 

Have a blessed day and its good to hear you feeling better!
