Five Friday Happy Bringers 2/14/25

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.

1. This beyond-delicious morning coffee at one of our favorite coffee shops here in Savannah, Origin Coffee Bar.

“Southern Frost: A cozy orange and cardamom flat white with your milk of choice.”

Of course, I didn’t really know the definition of a “flat white.”

Hello, Google.

“A flat white is an espresso drink made with steamed milk and microfoam, resulting in a velvety texture and creamy taste. It’s smaller than a latte or cappuccino, but stronger due to less froth and milk. The milk in a flat white is velvety and not diluted with foam, highlighting the coffee’s nuances. Flat whites are made with a 2:3 coffee-to-milk ratio, compared to 1:2 for cappuccinos.” coffeebeancorral.com

TMI?

2. The Joyful Ability to Walk!

On a hike, somewhere or other, with my faithful hiking stick.

3. Getting caught in a DOWNPOUR yesterday morning on busy Bay Street near us here in Savannah.

Finding a bit of shelter under a store’s awning.

My thoughts earlier as we headed out the door, umbrella-less, into threateningly dark clouds: “Oh we have time to dash down the street for a twenty-minute constitutional.”
