Jim's Cafe - 10th April

[Innocent Forever]

I start work today Had off for the last couple of weeks. There was - is - a staff meeting going on right now that I'm choosing to ignore.
Good morning all!
Oh I woke up at 5 from my niece crying and didn't fall back asleep so this morning I had a shower, and journalled for an hour (some of the stuff I was journalling I was thinking of @AsphyxiateOnWords and beliefs )

Have a super duper day all!

Challenge for today: Bring everyone along. If you are reading this, say hi!

Questions for today:
What quote has or does inspire you?
My quote is: Go as long as you can, then take another step. For it's what got me here today.

What song has or does inspire you?
Mine is Here for a reason, it helped me a lot.

Its 5:28 am here in Texas, and I have a med hangover so have no answers to your questions Innocent, maybe later today something will come to me. Right now its coffee and trying to become coherant.

too bad my coffee doesn't look like this, I'm sure it would super charge my brain!
Have a great day everyone!

Hi, everybody! Thank you for opening the café, @Innocent Forever. It's a cozy stormy day, here, in Mar del Plata, the inviting smell of the rain... It's still somewhat dark (fall/autumn), 7 a.m.
I'll invite you to have a round of mate and some crispy "tostados mixtos" (which are crum ham and cheese sandwiches, somewhat different from the croque-monsieur) .

There are many quotes and songs that inspire me. I pick them depending of what I need to get motivated at a certain moment.
I's choose for today:
Till rapture (ecstasy). It's in french, but watching his gestures, you'll get the power. It speaks about embracing life as it is and play in it with a winning heart, giving it all.

Or One Moment in Life, from 1988 Olympic Games:

Talking about quotes, I'd choose for today one brought by @Ash600:

And I'll need this quote today: "Bite the bullet". I've got two chances of people interested in buying my apt. I'll be out of money - in default - at the end of this month. With my depression, my apt looks very abandoned,,and being ill doesn't help to have the strenght to make it look better... . I need a miracle... but I've seen them happen in my own life before.

I've just listened to "Here for a reason". Beautiful song. Thanks, Inno.

Fingers crossed for your miracle, Alwayswrong .... I’m so hoping all goes well for you x

Hi everyone, and a huge thank you to Innocent for opening up and providing the themes for the day. My two favourite sayings at the moment are :

One of my all time favourite songs is Van Morrison .. Bright Side of the Road.

Have a great day everyone xxxx

 

[Patafikss]

Thank you for the invitation.
Inspiring quotes I see.

I don't know if it's my favourite but it's kind of always with me, deep inside.

"Those that fail to learn from history, are doomed to repeat it."
Winston Churchill

House of the Rising Sun is a music that brought me incredible loads of joy yet now it's associated with a part of my life I ruined.

Happy new day,
Love

 

[Alwayswrong]

@Winter Blues, @Patafikss, those quotes are really true. Thamks. I'm going to listen to both songs now.

 

[Sunspots]

Thanks for opening up today @Innocent Forever - I hope your first day back at work is happier than expected X

I'm not one for inspirational quotes but I have a few that work for me...

I haven't been to the café in a while so I'm famished! I'm bringing some super filling food.

I want to think of something less cliché but my go to quote really is, "Be the change you want to see in the world." Ghandi
I've also taken to googling Elie Wiesel quotes. Excellent for dark times, sometimes in terms of relatability, sometimes insight, sometimes hope. Here's one:

Songs, songs, songs.... I used to really love Atmosphere, especially the Lucy Ford and When Life Gives You Lemons... albums, but there's a lot of music I can't listen to because of the memories.
Mischief Brew is on in the bus a lot these days. Feed The Children by LOC is basically my childhoid anthem, but it makes me cry. "while cries for help meet shutting blinds. "
How about this one. Some good ol folk punk, heavy on the folk.
