Coffee

I used to be a morning person.   My internal clock woke me up seconds before my alarm.  Every morning, without fail.  And it wasn't just a, "Oh, I think I'll mosey on into the shower" kind of waking up.  It was more of a BOYING, "I'm AWAKE!"  I'd sit straight up in bed (a habit I had to painfully break in college being on the bottom bunk), hop right out of bed, and I was showered and dressed, ready to go, lickety-split, just like that!

Then, along came marriage and soon after, children.  The luxury of sleeping without interruption, trying on multiple outfits, wearing sexy underwear (even if uncomfortable), doing what ever I wanted with my time (when ever I wanted), all of it, gone. But!  It's been replaced with new adventure, boundless loves, cuteness heaven, frustration hell, teething, dirty diapers, messy house, baking, gourmet cooking, gardening escapes, gut wrenching laughter, tear soaked pillows, inadequacies realized, dreams come true, challenges I could never have imagined, living life to the fullest, strength that can only come from my Maker ... and coffee!  

 Oh, that gloriously, smooth flavor of coffee with a good creamer! It is my daily indulgence, my grocery budget extravagance.  Give me a good cup-o-joe first thing in the morning and my foggy mind, lazy limbs, and grumbling about having to get out of bed, vanishes like water vapor.  

I get many compliments on this bracelet.  Three strands of coffee hued goodness, a smooth feel like cream on the tongue, a beautiful flowered clasp.  It looks fabulous on a wrist wrapped around a steaming mug.
