coffee. i was sitting in traffic the other day letting my mind wander and i some how ended up on coffee. it isn't just a beverage, it's community, it's cool, it's popular, and it's a comfort. at starbucks all these little kids are in there ordering really weird, fancy, beverages. why? they are little, they should be drinking orange soda, but they're drinking coffee because their friends are, because it's a popular thing to do in our society, i don't know. i just know that when i was little i would watch my parents drink coffee and one day i begged for some. they poured me some in my sesame street mug, the one with big bird on it, and i drank some. i hated it. i dumped most of it out and then poured a whole bunch of milk in it. perhaps i invented the latte. i don't know. as i get older, i'm starting to enjoy coffee as a comfort not as a fix. it relaxes me, it breaks me from a hectic day, it gives me the chance to take 20 minutes and reflect on my day, conversations, or nothing, i can just be. i like my coffee breaks.
i tried a new church today and i really liked it. i've never church hopped and i don't think i'm going to start now. i think i found the right fit for me on the first try. thank you very much. it was so nice and the man at the door didn't even laugh when i said, i have no idea where to go.
