Hello Coffee!

This morning I enjoyed my coffee.

One of my most favorite times of the day is in the early hours of the morning.  Not only because it just may be the only moment of silence or alone time I’ll get all day, but because for a few moments everything is perfect.  While the girls and Mel are sleeping, safe, healthy, the world goes on. Everything is starting fresh.  New.

I’m always the first to rise, taking Emmie out for a little walk around the yard.  Summer mornings, I  spend waving to neighbors as they jog by or hustle to work.  In cooler months, I bundle up and sit on the porch and watch the Canadian geese dance, while I enjoy my coffee.

During week one of treatment, nothing is as it should be.  Even my taste buds turn on me.  My mornings with Emmie on the porch aren’t quite as enjoyable.  In fact, I skip the coffee all together.

Today, I enjoyed my coffee on the porch with Emmie.

Today, I know that this time is evanescent.
