Ahhhhhhh, Coffee. Nectar of the gods. Manna from heaven. How I love thee.
Every morning I wake up to your bitter-sweet smell, a large cup usually freshly brewed and lying on my bedside table, placed there by my adoring Husband - of course he knows that if I don't get my morning coffee I turn into a rabid banshee.
You give me the energy to face the day, no matter the earliness of the hour awoken by certain small people, no matter the poor quality of sleep the night before (due once again to the aforementioned small people)
First thing in the morning I may tolerate you in the instant form, but later in the day you must be purchased in the frothy-milky-cafe-style form. A feast for my senses, a revelation, my one true vice (other than chocolate cake of course)
Sometimes I may sip tea or hot chocolate...but I will always return to you, coffee, my one true love. I feel like I need to ingest you to live...to get by and although I limit myself to two cups of a day those two cups are heaven, bliss and I savour them.
So, today Coffee, I celebrate you (due to one beer too many last night and another sleepless night)
I have to go have a coffee now Ive read this...
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell.....so will I! I've already had my quota for the day, but I won't tell anyone if you don't Nig! xx
ReplyDeleteOh yes. Coffee is God. I'm not a total addict - I can only stomach one coffee a day, but sweet lord, I relish and enjoy that one cup down to the very last drop. xxx
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean! I generally only have the two cups a day but I really, really adore those two cups!
ReplyDeleteI'm hearing you! I had dedicated a few blogs posts to my love of coffee too.
ReplyDeleteI can understand why Amy! I will probably do a few more in time too! Thanks for visiting!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Love it! Have to say my vice is tea. I'm a big tea drinekr - especially English Breakfast and Chai!
ReplyDeleteA very fitting tribute I completely agree with! Ahhh coffee...because you can sleep when you're dead!
ReplyDeleteahh love a good coffee! often saves the day at my house :)
ReplyDelete@Kellie; I love a good cup of tea too, but in the mornings and when out I have to have coffee, coffee, coffee.
ReplyDelete@Alison; Absolutely! Certainly can sleep when I'm dead....I'm not getting any now!
@jody; Saves the day in my house too...all day...everyday!
Hi Lene! Stopping by as I saw you joined up to Write On Wednesdays at Digital Parents. So pleased to see you there, we should be ready to go with the first writing exercise this Tues/Wed if you are still up for it!
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely ode to coffee, it IS nectar from the gods, what a great way to describe it. We have not had coffee in the house for the past few days and I have had to head into town to buy a take away each morning.
