Corner View: everyday

Francesca, who hosts Corner View,

spotlighted her morning coffee.

I decided to show how my day begins as well

since it happens this way every day

at least Monday through Friday.

I get the coffee ready the night before,

but I don't use a timer.

I just plug it in and hit the start button on my way to let the cats up

from the basement.

I have to have a cream or flavored 'something' in my coffee,

and the flavor of  the week

this week

is the same as one of my favorite candy bars:

Almond Joy.

I used to have a protein shake

but now I have oatmeal with soy milk and  1/2 cup frozen blueberries

stirred into it.

While microwaving the oatmeal,

I read the daily Psalm calendar.

The other staples to my mornings

--even on weekends--

are my devotions

and my journal writing.

I can make it through the day without the oatmeal

or the calendar,

but coffee and time spent reading and writing

keep me sane,

as I maneuver my way through

a day of teaching English to freshmen and juniors.
