\"breakfast<\/a>Take what you have and make what you want! I had a good exercise in faith this morning.\u00a0 I’d gone for an early walk and was closer to a friend’s home than mine when it began raining, so I dashed onto his porch.\u00a0 I offered to cook breakfast in return for a ride home in the rain, since I had freshly baked potatoes.\u00a0 He challenged me to make breakfast at his place.\u00a0 Hmmm… upon first glance in the fridge, he had the typical bachelor ingredients: condiments,\u00a0 some lettuce, almond milk, not much.\u00a0 My exercise in faith was that, despite his fridge looking rather bare, there were a lot of wrapped items that could be just about anything. Fingers crossed!<\/p>\n

I began unwrapping and found celery in 3 different places, so I consolidated it. I found nearly empty or expired condiments and tossed them.\u00a0 I arranged all the bottles out of the way on the upper shelves.\u00a0 He keeps everything mega clean, so it took just a little organization for the magic to occur:\u00a0 I found a giant red potato, two onions, baby carrots, a tomato, tortillas, jalapenos, avocado and some brown rice from the night before! SCORE!! At first glance, it looked like a bare cupboard.\u00a0 Once I took a deeper look and discarded what was no longer needed, I discovered the bounty!\u00a0 I can do that with my life, too.\u00a0 If it starts looking like there’s not much going on, I just need to look a little deeper and have the intent to find something useful. Take what I have and make what I want.\u00a0 You can do it, too. What is there around you right now that you can turn into something magically useful?\u00a0 Where ever you are, make a heaven of it.<\/p>\n
