I don't remember exactly when I had my first cup of coffee. Maybe it was when I spent the afternoons at my grandmother's house as a child. She would give us sweet bread and coffee with milk at snack time. I think that's the first memory I'm aware of related to having coffee. Since then, I have drunk a lot of coffee. But in all this time of being a coffee lover, I never knew that October 1st was International Coffee Day. But now thanks to my friends in the Cinnamon Cup Coffee Community, I know. And of course, I'm going to celebrate it with you, coffee friends.
So let me share with you three of my cherished coffee moments.
Dear R,
I can't believe it's been a year since we had that coffee a few hours before you got on the plane and started a new stage of your life. We've had a few coffees since then, though not as many as I'd like.
I look forward to seeing you soon, hugging you, and chatting while we have a couple of espressos just the way you like them.
*Happy Coffee Day!
Love you ♡, MOM.
This first postcard is for my son. We had the coffee on the pic the afternoon before we took him to the airport to take the plane to go study abroad. He has turned out to be a coffee lover like us. I miss him very much although I am very happy for him and all his achievements. But I can't wait to have him home and lay on the couch to chat over a cup of coffee.
Dear E,
How is it possible that it's International Coffee Day and we haven't met up for a creamy cappuccino and catch up. We should be able to remedy that as soon as possible. I hope you'll be free tomorrow to meet at our usual coffee place.
Happy Coffee Day! Hugs, C.
E has been my friend since we were in kindergarten. She is one of those friends who has always been in my life in good times and bad. Sometimes, we don't see each other as much as we would like because day-to-day life doesn't allow us. But whenever we can, we get together to have a coffee and catch up. And we promise each other every time that we will do it more often, hehe. That cappuccino is the one I took on our latest coffee out.
Dear Me,
This postcard is for you to remember that your me time in the morning while you enjoy your cup of coffee looking out the balcony should not be skipped no matter how busy the day is projected to be. It is one of those little details of life that are priceless, and you deserve to have it every day.
Happy Coffee Day with love, your favorite cuppa.
My morning coffee is one of those sacred moments of the day in which I dedicate time for myself. To ruminate in my thoughts while sipping my coffee. However, some days I let the hustle and bustle of what's coming up make that moment fade away and although there is always coffee, there are days that I drink it in a flash, hehe.
This is my entry to the COFFEE CONTEST: In Celebration of Int'l Coffee Day. Cheers! ☕️
