Writing Prompt #11: Coffee

Tanner's prompt for today is Coffee.

Shortly after arriving in Tallahassee, I remember having this conversation with Pastor Jay.

PJ: "Do you drink coffee?"
Me: "I do not."
PJ: "What do you have to drink with breakfast?"
Me: "I drink a lot of milk."

And I remember Jay writing that detail into his Moleskin notebook and chuckling to himself.

It's true! Coffee has never held any attraction for me whatsoever. It smells weird, it tastes terrible, and it makes you jittery. What's there to like?

Okay, there must be something to like. I haven't read Tanner's blog post from this morning yet, but I assume he didn't choose this prompt just to talk about how awful coffee is.

Let's just say, coffee's not the way I like to start my morning. I like something cold (usually cereal and milk, because childhood habits die hard), a good book, and a hot shower. If I'm able to insert some kind of exercise, even better. That was walking the dog, but now that I no longer have a dog, I am considering taking up running again.

What's your morning routine? Let me know. Just don't try to convince me to drink coffee, because gross.

Stay tuned for May 28th: Compassion.
