Having the opportunity as adults to repeat those rituals that take us back to happy moments in our infancy is priceless. I also like to have my first coffee of the day in the kitchen, but in solitude, before my husband wakes up. It's a moment for me, and I make the most of it: I stay quiet and breathe, or think about the day ahead of me, but I also think about everything in general, family, friends, anything relevant going on in the world. Coffee time was more an intimate moment when I was a child; my mother would brew some for her and offer me a little.

Nice post, friend!
