Coffee-My Daily Habit

Yes, coffee is a daily habit for me.  Oftentimes twice a day!!  Not something I am particularly proud of.  Drinking coffee doesn’t change the world or make anyone’s life better.  It is my little friend.  My boost of energy.  My warm cup of encouragement.  The part of my day I can always count on and look forward to.

I drink coffee to wake me up in the morning and sometimes to get me through the mid-afternoon slump.  I often drink coffee while writing.  It is my helper, my support in a cup.  This way I am not alone while jumping off the ledge of vulnerability.

A lot of times I share my habit with others.  It is the catalyst for conversations and connection.  “Let’s grab a cup of coffee”  is suggested frequently.  When I haven’t seen someone in a while and bridges need to be gapped.  When someone is struggling and a little distraction is needed; something to hold, to focus on, to look at…when looking into someone’s eyes may be too difficult.  When you just need to share…life’s ups and it’s downs.  Meeting over coffee is a natural act these days.  Just peer into a Starbucks.

Having coffee is truly an ‘event’ for me.  One I look forward to.  Is it a habit? Yes!  An addiction? Probably!  It is part of my everyday.  It is a constant in my life and although in and of itself a cup of coffee will not change the world, my small world has been changed over a cup of coffee.
