My Coffee Routine

There is something preciously soothing about making a pot of coffee: the whir of grinding beans as the aroma hits the air; pouring water to the tippy-top line; hearing the drip-drip of Breakfast Blend while I slather peanut butter on two sides of bread. There's a chill in the air which makes the promise of a hot drink even sweeter. Thick socks on my feet, and a soft sweatshirt blanket me while I assemble school lunches like a factory drone. And even though I struggle to meet the early morning, the promise of a cup of coffee awakens my senses and brightness my sleepy little corner of the world.

Today I'm grateful for coffee in this one simple life.

What morning routine do you love?
