Take Time to Smell the Coffee



Isn't it funny how smells can create a sense of tranquility? They create a sense of contentment and for me in the morning its coffee- my first mug just brings a smile to my face. Its my quite time when I can stop and reflect on my blessings. I love the everything about coffee. The sound of the beans in the bag, and eventually in the grinding machine.

The robust smell that fills my kitchen, and ultimately my office. That first sip is much anticipated and by the time I drink in the first taste of my morning I realize, I get the joy of doing this again tomorrow. Isn't it funny how the little things help us with contentment. In the winter months its curling up with a good book and my favorite flannel pj's, but for now I will take in the aroma of my morning coffee. I hope your morning starts with the little things, the blessings all around us that fill us up and make us smile.
