Man OH Man did I ever sleep good!  Like a rock!  I'm up (contemplating going back to sleep) and I am enjoying some peace and quiet.  Minnesota is so beautiful from what I have seen.  It's just so relaxing to know I am here and I get to spend a week with my baby, Lucy and her family.  We are going to the Mall Of America today and I think we are going to Duluth tomorrow looking at Lighthouses!!  They have a fun filled relaxing week for me.  PLUS, I get to meet a lot of YOU while I am here!  WOO HOO!  SO much to look forward to! Our challenge for today is to not worry.  Easier said than done, I know.  What is it though?  It's just a problem?  What?  Randall!  How can you say "just" a problem.  Well, I have learned that no matter what you are worrying about, it's just there.  What can you do?  You are you and you are NOT able to fix everything.  I use to worry about other people's problems and I couldn't fix it.  I was making myself sick.  That's all you will do if you worry!  What can worrying do?  When you worry, you are not yourself.  You cause your body to react in ways it isn't suppose to therefore, your mind is bogged, your BP rises, other things happen.  Worrying is not worth it.  You have to learn to just KNOW it will work out.  If it doesn't, then it wasn't meant to be or something esle will take place in the place of that situation that will make it better.  Does that make sense?  I have worried enough for you and I.  LOL  Just learn to NOT worry and BE HAPPY!  Life WILL get better!! So, who's up?  What cha sipping on?  Me?  WOW!  Lucy had some Harry & David's Moose Munch Chocolate Peanut Butter Coffee in my apartment for me.  Ain't she sweet?  AWE!  LOL  This coffee sure is good!  Carmen, you gotta get it!  I know how you love H&D's coffee.  You too Julie!  All of you.  HAHAHA!   My flights were good on the way up.  The only thing was a couple of turbulent spots on the plane and those moving sidewalks where you lean to the right and TRY not to get run over!  I HATE Atlanta's Airport!  You could get LOST in there.  And to think!  I have to go through Ohare in Chicago on the way home.  HEHEHEHEHEE  This country boy is LOST already!  HAHAHAHA Ya'll have a blessed and wonderful day!

Heya Randall!  Welcome to Minnesota!!! I LOVE your coffee talk this morning. I totally get it - that is the mentality I always live buy.  I wish more people could wrap their mind around that.  I hate to see people worry themselves to death.  It's so not worth it!  Everything works out in the end according to God's plan. :) You will LOVE Duluth!  I was borned and raised in that area (Superior to be exact - right over the bridge).  You can see the lighthouse and cross the bridge and you'll be in Wisconsin and you can see Barker's Island with the big ship too.  So then you can say you visited two states while you were here. lol  Canal Park in Duluth is gorgeous.  Lots of fun little shops, the aerial lift bridge and the lighthouse and harbor.  Very pretty.  Almost as pretty as Lucy I bet.  Enjoy your stay.  I sure hope I can come to coffee Friday night! (((Hugs))) Michelle

Randall~Welcome to Minnesota!  Yes this is certainly one of God's beautiful creations!  I am born and raised Minnesotan and don't know if I could ever leave it!  Duluth and the Lighthouses are very beautiful and on the way up you will most likely go through my hometown--Hinckley it is the middle of the trip from the Twin Cities to Duluth.  Thank you for posting this Coffee Talk today althought I could have used it around midnight last night as I was up worrying about finances.  What could I do about it, nothing really so I said a prayer and let it go.  The stress actually ended up keeping me up until 1:30 am so this morning came a bit too early, but God answered my prayer and all is well again in my life.  He is truely an Awesome God!  I hope you enjoy your week here and hopefully the weather will behave so you can enjoy our all too short summer!  I am really looking forward to meeting you onf Friday!  ~Nicole
