Caffeinate!

I dedicate today's post to caffeine in all its forms. I love you!

In this addition of Thursday Thoughts, my mind is on my next dose of caffeine…as per usual.

Caffeinate and Handle It!

The ride may be bumpy, but I will be caffeinated.

You are the Chaos Coordinator, The Ringmaster of the Shitshow…So, it may not be pretty, but just get some caffeine in you and deal with whatever pops up today.

Taking the time to make my coffee experience fulfilling.

If it has caffeine in it, I love it! Coffee, tea, even diet coke. But my true love is coffee.  Can’t deny it. My husband is aware. I take a moment in the morning to make my coffee the way I like it, drink it quietly and take a deep breath before the chaos of the day begins.

This still life is entitled Soda Cup with Crayons.

I just wanted to take a moment to tell caffeine how much I love it.  That is all. Go on with your day.
