Coffee

Nov. 12th

Coffee. I love coffee. It's not that it tastes good really. I even "enjoy" bad coffee. Coffee made while camping..boiled in a rusty old perculator..luke warm coffee...but, I draw the line at weak coffee. That's just nasty water. But, coffee that causes curly hairs to grow on my chest I love!!
The words "Let's go get a cup of coffee...or Do you want to come over for coffee?" Those kind of statements/questions create a whole scene in my mind and heart. I don't think it's the beverage of choice as much as it's the togetherness. It is "I want to spend time with you" Just looking at a TV show where they hold a coffee mug gets to me. I want to be there..I want to hold a mug, too!! I watch steam wisping up from the mug..watch them blow in it to cool it off...it all creates a warmth inside me of friendship and love. It's the first thing I do each morning..stumble out to my single serve coffee maker, pop in a pod, listen to the strange sounds it makes as it's providing me a wake up cup of Joe. I carry it over to the computer, read messages and slirp the dark strong "Friend". I can feel the fog lifting and my eyes opening fully.
I'm sure there are those who get all this with tea. But, cannot imagine it happening with milk.
So, here's to you fellow coffee drinkers!!
