THE VALUE OF COFFEE TOGETHER
Do you drink alone? Is the quiet repose accompanying a cup of hot Joe as important to you as the drink itself? Solitude has its value, but so does good company.
As deeply satisfying as a moment of silence--especially in today's busy, noisy, demanding world--is a strainless visit with a friend.
My friend is my wife. She drinks tea, actually, but it isn't important. Whenever we can, we steal a moment out on the porch swing, or on the couch, or at a cafe'. Our favorite 'dates' are spontaneous rondevous at no-name restaurants around a shared dessert and coffee (or tea). Priceless to us both.
Take or make a half hour this week. Brew the coffee. Find a quiet corner of the house or the town and get together with your mate to talk and to listen to one another. Time together is gold--wieghed by the minute. Invest much and often.

--Gourmet Thoughts for A Gourmet Day ** Fresh Brewed Here Every Monday-- Millions of us begin our day with coffee. For some its a necessity; for others a simple luxury. Which ever your case, I want to share it with you occasionally--not to intrude, but, hopefully to enhance by offering a thought, an idea, an insight, or a story. After all, what better way to begin a gourmet day than with a gourmet thought and hot coffee?
