What a nice day it was today ... Saturday ... some might say lazy; some might say relaxing. I would like to defend myself in saying I did actually do something more than sit around drinking coffee. I did some yard work, washed dishes, worked on my book, picked up a few things, folded and stuffed the bulletins for worship services, prepared dinner and a dish for a potluck tomorrow and gave moral support. It was mid day when I heard today is National Coffee Day. I don't know why I hadn't heard this sooner. Didn't this take place just a few months ago? It doesn't really matter. I was guzzling my third huge mug of the day when I got the news. I was talking on the phone at the time. I just nodded incredulously, smiled and took another slurp before it got cold. I'm not really certain why we need a special day for love of coffee. Coffee aficionados know who they are. Many begin their lifelong love for the heavenly brew when they are mere children. Others are led down the path out of necessity when they are deep in studies. Some must wait until full blown adulthood when they are introduced at the workplace, a restaurant or kiosk, or simply when dining with friends. Whatever their association is and when it began is irrelevant. It's not as if they must attend CC (Coffee Cuddlers) meetings. Don't most coffee drinkers ... at least the true devotees celebrate the goodness every day? Do coffee drinkers really need an excuse to have another cup? I think not! Nevertheless, I drank my share and did my best to celebrate. So, here's to coffee drinkers everywhere: Drink up and may Mrs. Olsen smile upon you!
