coffeeI am a lover of all things digital and I love keeping up with technology blogs like MakeUseOf!  Well the other day I came across an article on there by Saikat about this program called “Coffee” which gives some flexibility with choosing the default program for opening files.  Within the article he lists 5 things this program called “Coffee” does for him.  Thank you Saikat, because the article reminded me of 5 things REAL coffee does for me!

Those who know me know that I love coffee, in particular, Duncan Donuts coffee!  Any morning with a medium DD coffee with 2 creams and 2 Spledas (diabetic) is a morning worth waking up to!  Here are 5 things that coffee does for me – which of these applies to you too?

1.  Coffee wakes me up

Obviously, coffee plays a huge role in MANY people’s lives by waking them up.  For some, even the smell will get them going!  Maybe it’s the caffeine but maybe it’s the taste, but there’s something about coffee that just gets people going!  I am definitely no exception!

2.  Coffee warms me when the weather’s cold

On Sundays I get up kind of early to meet the church bus to help pick people up for church.  During the winter it can be one cold ride!  If I can stop for a nice cup of coffee on the way to the bus, it is just that much more bearable!  After a day’s skiing, snow blowing or just walking in the cold, coffee can thaw the most frozen individuals!  Just don’t order ICED coffee; it would defeat the purpose!

3.  Coffee gives my mouth a rewarding vacation of wonderful taste!

OK, admittedly this depends on the kind of coffee, how it was made, and what was put in it but when done right… WOW!  If I am craving a treat and I can’t eat the sweets (diabetic, remember?) a good cup of D and D with the right amount of cream and Splenda can hit the spot!  Have you ever had something you love so much that your mouth is so overwhelmed that your whole being is affected by it?  The right cup of coffee can do this for me!

4.  Coffee can change my mood

Like I said before, this too can depend on the cup, but MOST of the time coffee can be a real mood-changer!  If I have to get up early, most of the time you should probably wait until I’ve had a cup of coffee before bugging me!  I probably won’t lash out at you (most of the time) but the conversation will just go so much better.  Don’t get me wrong, we should have control over ourselves.  I’m just saying that before I have my first cup it won’t be as easy for me.  Just warnin’ ya’ll!

5.  Coffee often gives a good excuse to share some fellowship

Who hasn’t sat with a good friend in a coffee shot or Denny’s over a nice cup of coffee and just relaxed and shared company?  Is life stressful?  Are you sitting in front of a screen all day long?  Need to get away somehow?  Take a few seconds with a friend or loved one and drink coffee!

There you have it!  5 things that coffee does for me.  Realize that I did not say that there are the ONLY 5 things coffee does for me!  If you have more to add, please do!
