Morning Mug

Good Morning,

I just wanted to get a quick hello in this morning

 before heading off to my volunteer job.

In the mornings I usually nurse one mug of coffee and then I'm done.

We didn't drink coffee until we moved here 9 years ago.

 Then we became regular coffee drinkers

 in our mid  to late 40's.

At first,

  it had to be extremely fresh

 as in just brewed

 for us to enjoy it.

After awhile,

it didn't matter how old

 or what temperature we drank it.

If it turned cold in the mug, oh well.  Just add ice.

 We loved it

and it wasn't the expensive good stuff that we consumed.

It was

plain old Folgers.

 Sing with me:

The best part of waking up....

After a while  we were consuming coffee at all times of the day.

I've cut way back now.

Oh, I still crave my morning mug and

 I love it once in awhile if we have dessert,

which isn't very often at all.

I think I love the ritual of having a mug of coffee.

In the wintertime it's wrapping my hands around a steaming mug

and feeling the warmth thaw out cold fingers.

During the summer  mornings, I carry the mug out onto the deck

or kitchen porch to start  the day.

Anyway,  todays morning ritual will be cut short again

 as  I  put the remaining coffee from my mug into a thermal cup

and take it to Seniors with me.

  I'll be busy and probably won't finish it untill lunch time.

But that's OK, because

  today is a better morning than yesterday.

Yesterday I hurriedly finished my coffee as  I headed to town

 for my annual mammogram

and tried

really hard

not to think

of pancakes. 

   

Hope you have a wonderful day.

I will!
