You know you are a coffee lover when you drive to work with your coffee pot sitting on towel in your floorboard praying that it doesn't spill.
I got up this morning and poured some Folgers Hazelnut Creme coffee beans into my grinder and made a nice pot of coffee just for me. Then as I got ready to leave for work I realized that all of my "to go" coffee cups were at work. Dilemma! I wasn't about to go without my coffee. I had been really wanting to try this new flavor after discovering it on my weekly trip to the grocery store. Then I got the genius idea to just transport my coffee pot to work and put it on our burner there. This was quite the challenge since I hardly ever abide the speed limit signs in town and I am usually running at least 15 minutes late everywhere I go.
Thankfully, I did arrive safely. I was more late than usual because I had to drive the speed limit, but my coffee pot was still full and that's what really matters in my book.
**Folgers Vanilla Biscotti is even better

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real…but only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
