I’m grateful for the smell of coffee. I’m not much of a coffee drinker, I want it to taste like it smells so it has to be sweet and white for me, but I absolutely love the scent of freshly brewed coffee.

There’s a sensuality to that aroma, visions of slow, dreamy mornings at leisure, having the time to enjoy a cuppa, letting the world start without you. Sometimes someone passes by me with their mug or cup and a moment later the scent drifts back to me and sends me to quiet mornings at the Rocky Lake cabin or relaxed after dinner conversations around the family table or the buzz of people interacting in the fellowship hall just after Sunday service. One of my favorite indulgences is to have half a cup of coffee with two scoops of vanilla ice cream – heavenly. Mmmm, I can close my eyes and smell it even now. ☕️
