Coffee Chatter

I love coffee. Better yet, I love my local coffee shop. The sounds and smells in that little café are so comforting. It’s my “happy place” when life is throwing me curve balls.

Conversation with friends over coffee can also be comforting. We speak freely about our stubborn spouses, defiant children, and crazy careers. Sometimes we even talk about our thoughtful spouses, darling children, and rewarding careers. It varies, really.

I learn about the world with my coffee. Together we cruise through the newspaper… gasping at the tragedy over seas, taking sides on the local political battles, and chuckling at the latest “expert” opinions of the real estate market.

If I had to define myself as a person, it would be “coffee lover”. Oh yes, I am a Mother, Wife, Daughter, Agent, etc. But deep down, my own identity goes hand in hand with my mocha.
