One of my favorite meals of the day…Breakfast! Here is why:
1.There is nothing like the first sip of coffee to rev up my otherwise sluggish brain. I just love the first sip for some reason. It is like heaven on earth. It satisfies me in every way and it centers me. I have to put much thought into not spilling it on my journey from the counter to the table. I have to slowly bring it to my mouth so as not to sip too fast and burn my tongue (one of my pet peeves…a burnt tongue).
2.There is nothing like 15 minutes (really seconds for me on most days) to myself to read the newspaper and see what’s new in the world. It’s honestly the only time through out the day that I actually get to read anything besides my email.
3.There is nothing like a wholesome helping of yogurt with granola, eggs (made by my boyfriend), and freshly squeezed orange juice. I am pushing it with the “freshly squeezed” bit.
4.There is nothing like beautiful morning sunshine pouring through the windows at the breakfast table.
5.Hearing my daughter call her cereal “Snap , Papple, and Pop” is the best thing in the world.
6.Hearing my son’s excitement in the fact that he “winned” the race to get dressed this morning.
Those are the things I want to remember in life when they are older and no longer acknowledge me! ;o)
I will cherish these years FOREVER and always remember what breakfast was like when they were “my babies”.
Happy Friday!
