Catching up with Gratitude #9 ~ Coffee

It's been a while since I last posted on here because our computer "died" during a black out.  After almost two months of doing everything we could on a four year old Samsung SmartPhone, we finally got the laptop fixed.  It feels good to be able to do internet-things with ease.  Alhamdullillaah!

But getting on to it, I can finally blog about coffee!  Yes.  Coffee makes the day go by faster.  It also makes you move faster, think faster, and talk louder with more feeling and, sometimes, unnecessary excitement.

I am thankful for coffee, especially when I need it most on those days where it seems like life just can't get any more irritating.  Coffee keeps the monster in me at bay.  It turns my agitated grimace into a sarcastic grin, and keeps me from chasing the kids down with the belt when they cross the line.  It's easier to just say "Okay, you need to chill out now".  It makes tantrums amusing, even funny.  It's inspiring, and suddenly I have all sorts of warm, cozy ideas to jot down, knit up, or draw out.  It brings out my inner Little Miss Homemaker, and before you know it, I'm baking a fresh batch of biscuits for breakfast, and EVERYONE can have more than two because I just love everyone that much when there's caffeine coursing through my body, and triggering the pleasure center in my brain.  Life is sweeter when you have a belly full of coffee.  Your spouse is enchanting.  Your cats are the greatest little furry things to ever ricochet off your face, and steel your yarn while you were knitting with it.  Your mom is more hilarious than usual.  There's a blue sky in every room of the house.  You feel like singing out loud, while brainstorming on what amazing culinary masterpiece you're going to whip up for dinner.  You feel like you can do anything, BECAUSE YOU CAN!  Feeling stuck?  Feel like you're trapped in your own endless cycle called life?  Drink coffee!!!!

Yes!  Yes!  Coffee!!!  Coffee!!!  Coffee!!!  The best drug to ever be harvested!!!
