Wonderful Wednesday: Coffee

I'm going to be cliche and give thanks and praise for coffee. And whoever it was that first looked at the plant, said hey lets see if you can make a tea with it, and voila discovered the fantastic creation we call "A Cup of Joe."

I cannot tell you how much I have come to consider coffee my friend. I am looking forward to the day when I am no longer nursing so that I can drink the amount I'd like to instead of keeping it under 3 cups a day so I don't have a jittery baby.

I enjoy it with sugar (real sugar, not sweeteners) and half and half helping it smooth its way into my heart. I also enjoy the flavored creamers that come out around Halloween and Christmas. Its also great just black.



I think half of my love is the smell. I wake up so much better when the coffee is brewing and the aroma is wafting its way through the rooms of the house. It stimulates my nose and brain and gives me something to look forward to as I get up from my warm bed.

Thank you Coffee, thank you for being there for me through sleepless nights, colds when only you were strong enough to penetrate my sense of smell and taste, through early morning trips, and all nighters in college. You are welcome in my home anytime.
