A Cup of Coffee

I have always loved coffee shops. To me, one cup of coffee represents a blissful escape from the grind of reality; a cozy moment of indulgence between me and the quiet wonderings of my mind. For some, a cup of coffee may be a chance to unwind. A rare and magical moment to fall into the pages of a book and journey into a world of adventures where courageous knights never break the 

maiden’s heart, where fierce  dragons can be conquered, where tragic tales can end happily ever after… For others, a cup of coffee may be the tonic of the morning. When standing before the long day, a cup of coffee may be the revitalizing elixir to replenish the soul and bring that reminder of hope. A hope that tells us this weary week cannot only be endured, but can be victoriously achieved.  To others, a cup of coffee may simply be a moment to connect with another heart; a few precious minutes to share with someone we love. To me, a cup of coffee can be any of these things. A moment to forget, a moment to indulge, a moment to be completely free.
