An Ode to Coffee

I like to start each day slowly with an international pause as I savor a hot cup of coffee. 

It is such a simple pleasure. 

Nothing awakens my senses more than my coffee ritual: the aromas, the sound, the sight, and the taste. The meditative process of brewing coffee forces me to slow down, reflect, and contemplate the day I am about to begin. 

My morning coffee is part of my daily routine that sets the tone for the rest of the day.
