my friend. coffee.

I won't say that I am addicted to coffee. I don't HAVE to have it. I just like what it does for me. It opens my eyes a bit, it gives me a little lift...but more importantly, it makes me slow down. I can't just chug it and move on. I have to stop and sip. When I stop, I think. When I think, I can clarify and organize my thoughts---whether it is my to do list, what is being discussed on the radio, or how I'm going to handle a situation. Stopping is good---that way I can get up and go again.
