coffee.

I have the utmost of respect for those who can wake up without coffee.

Who roll right out of bed each morning.

Who don't have to wipe the sleep out of their eyes just to see straight as one stumbles into the kitchen.

Who reach for the healthy glass of OJ or ice water first.

Who don't have to plan their entire day around when they can get their hands on this black gold.

As for me, this is my view - every. single. morning. 

{ and afternoon... }

Some might call it a problem.

{ They may be right. }

But the way I see it?

Coffee is a gift from above to those non-morning people out there.

To those of us who need a little extra help when the sun rises in the east each day.

To those of us who really do want to wake up each day with a smile on our faces.

To those of us who actually try to open our eyes at a decent, socially-acceptable hour.

We need a little help, okay?

So here's to you, steaming hot pot of energy and focus.

You're the best sidekick a girl could ask for.
