Some mornings are good and then others are rough. There are days that I just can’t seem to get going and the kids being on Spring Break all week sure hasn’t helped. I’ve needed that extra nudge to get going and have been enjoying morning coffee thanks to my new drip coffee maker.
You see, before this week, I didn’t even own a coffee maker. If I was having a rough morning, I would hop in the van, run to the gas station and grab a cup. It was becoming a tedious task since the gas station is a 10 minute drive from my house! So earlier this week, I decided it was time to get a coffee maker. I headed to Walmart and found a Mr. Coffee? 10-Cup Optimal Brew? Thermal Coffee Maker.
I love a tasty blend of coffee, so I was excited to find some great flavors from Millstone? coffee. I chose the Caramel Truffle blend for myself because I just love a bit of sweetness in my coffee. It has a smooth caramel flavor with a rich aroma and buttery finish.
Of course, I had to get my new coffee maker set up before I could start brewing and it really was quite simple. There was even a handy little instruction booklet to walk me through the process.
Once my coffee was finished brewing, I found one of my dad’s old coffee cups and thought it was quite fitting that I use his old cup on my new in home coffee journey.
I was feeling reminiscent of days passed that I’ll never have back – remembering how much he always enjoyed his coffee. It seemed only right that I go outside to enjoy my freshly brewed cup of coffee in my personal paradise – my garden. I sat on a rock, among my newly bloomed Crocus flowers, enjoyed a sip and remembered my dad.
From this day forward, {as long as weather permits} I will grab my morning cup and find my way back to that peaceful little spot in my garden. It will be just a small moment of my day that I can sit and bask in the glory of my life, under the watchful eye of my Angel. For just a short time every day, it will be like he’s still here with me and we’ll share in morning #CoffeeJourneys together.
