Coffee

I lamented the recent passing of crooner BJ Thomas at age 78. He was diagnosed with lung cancer in March and died May 29, 2021.  It made me realize that when your time comes, that's it.  You can try your best to live a healthy, safe life, but we have to accept whatever our fate decides.


Are you a coffee drinker?  I look forward to a large mugful in the mornings, taken with milk and a bit of cream.

I will confess I have been drinking coffee since I was three. That was the only way my mom could get me to drink milk..so of course, I still have to have a little milk in my coffee. Recently, I have had to change milks. Now I used Almond cream. So I'm nursing on a big cup of coffee right now. My day would be like sleep walking through the day, otherwise.

One cup with half and half in the morning for me.

I don't drink coffee. I use to and thought how can I not drink coffee but I stopped due to osteoporosis and I don't miss it at all. It's been 5 years.

So true, Christine. Every day is a gift. Since my dearest has been so sick over the past several years we take one day at a time, and laugh, love and enjoy it. Only the Lord knows which day we will be call home.
"This world is not my home, I'm just a passing through...my treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue. The angels beckon me from heavens open doors and I can't feel at home in this world anymore." An old favorite hymn says it all. And YES, I love my coffee with cream and sometimes a splash of sweet Italian cream.

I am indeed a coffee drinker. My grandparents started me on it when I was about five. Lots of milk, sugar and a splash of coffee. As my age progressed, so did the amount of coffee;)
I saw him in concert many years ago.

Half and Half makes coffee drinkable! No more than 2 cups a day!

I like coffee, but we traditionally drink tea everyday morning and evening.

I'd not heard about B.J.'s passing. I'm only familiar with one of his songs ... Raindrops Keep Falling, which I sing it every time it rains. Because of my gut condition, I've had to give up a lot of food and drinks. Coffee is supposed to be off the menu, but life isn't worth living without a cup in the morning. So, I've conditioned my gut to take it and like it.

Life and death are in the hands of God. However, we can't just hide behind Him and behind "when the time comes, and indulge in what's not healthy 9smoking, rich food etc... We have to help, to contribute to our longevity.

Christine said...

Good point.
