There's no need for extravagance to shoot a tingle straight down my spine into my pinky toe. A simple cup of strong coffee, cream and sugar, will do just fine. Those who participate in this daily addiction remember what hooked them for life. Mine began with a Bible study my hubby and I attended as newlyweds. A close nit group of young married couples communing over God's precious word and a good cup of coffee or two.
What great times of discussion over a passage of scripture or biblical issue. Iron sharpening iron, spiritual bonding, friendships blossoming, leaning on one another in times of crisis. All while sipping a hot cup of Java! Those were the days--late night discussions and numerous pots of coffee with no worry of getting children home to bed on time.
Now I simply can't clear the morning brain fog without at least 16 ounces. (I hear these pre-menopausal years can be quite foggy! Although, come to think of it, I did enter this world with a considerable amount of "fog".)
So, even if you're not a coffee drinker, I'm sure there's another simple pleasure that conjures up great memories and happy places. My simple pleasure is attached to wonderful times that helped shape who I am today.
