I love having lunch with friends during the work day. This is a lunch that I look forward to. It reminds me that there is a world outside these walls, a world outside the career-hungry and the phones ringing off the hook and the endless inundation of emails. It is at this lunch, where I feel most uninhibited; the hour is fleeting.
Coffee in a mug means that you are not on the go, you have the time to enjoy a cup of coffee in the comfort of your own home or the home of a dear friend. It means you are not rushed, you are not getting back into the car to commute to some far-off place.
You are taking the time to drink this cup of coffee. I add my cream, I add my sugar.
Gotta go. Putting on a fresh pot.
