The Morning Cup

When I lived in the States (now almost 11 years ago), the taste and smell of coffee was so unappealing. Maybe it was the direct correlation of the morning cup of coffee with the work force, something that perhaps subconsciously I wanted to avoid. I can't really say it was the taste that turned me off, as I could never really bring myself to do so...

Who knows....As they say, when in Rome. Costa Rica has become famous for it's world class coffee and it did not take long before this became part of my routine. When I lived on the coast, the coffee generally had to have a little milk, to take away the bitterness. Now, serve it black with 2 splendas and I can start my day. Funny how life is a matter of habits, as without my coffee, my day is missing something. Not sure if it is the caffeine which I have grown accustomed to, or just a nice morning ritual. My daughter who is now 4, wakes me up to eat an early breakfast, and as she eats and watching cartoons, I sit on the terrace of my home overlooking the city, and surrounding mountains. It is a breathtaking site, and although I am not sure the steam from the coffee enhances the feeling, but it sure feels like it. Perhaps as I get older, the coffee simply makes me feel more mature....All I need now is a pair of reading glasses, and a set of dentures :)
