Dear Cup of Coffee,

You make me a morning person, and that says something because I HATE mornings. When my alarm goes off and I have to drag myself out of bed, you are the first thing I go to. When you are brewing, your smell fills me with some kind of optimism to get my day started even though my body is screaming, “GO BACK TO BED!” When I take my first sip, you fill my body with a special kind of warmth that makes it bearable to be out of bed.

Because of you coffee, I am able to sit down and think about my day. When I wake up, my mind runs a million miles a minute with all the things that I need to accomplish that day and the stress sets in. But when I start to stress you bring me back and provide me with a warm, caffeinated hug. I want to thank you coffee, for giving me this time in the morning to reflect and think about life and my day because it feels like I don't even have time to breathe. Between homework, school, and just life in general, I never really give myself time to sit and just reflect, but you enable me to do so. You will always be part of my morining routine, a faithful friend. And for helping me keep my sanity, I thank you. You make everything possible!

From,
