Coffee Ground – Morning Stomping Grounds

It was an early, busy Monday morning about two years ago. A day that most people would remember as a beautiful fall day when all the trees were changing color. But the only color changing I remember unfolding from that day, was the color in my sister’s face. She had not had her morning coffee!
Hell hath no fury like my sister without her morning coffee! The grim mistake that my brother-in-law had forgot to pick up coffee the evening before turned out to be a costly one.
This is her “morning stomping ground”. It is her territory where she oversees her flock before sending them all on their merry way. All this while satisfying her morning fix of her favorite coffee ground roast. She earned that spot.
The absence of fresh ground roast coffee brewing in the air became her first withdraw. This pleasant odor had become a necessity to her. The fresh, ground aroma missing from her kitchen didn’t go unnoticed.
Most coffee consumers agree that a few cups in the morning are the perfect stimulant needed to start the day. It has been known to many coffee drinkers to relieve headache and tension. As well as keeping them aware and alert.
These statements hold true for my sister who is an avid coffee drinker. However, if she misses her morning coffee, relief soon becomes growls and twitches. Her morning stomping grounds had been trampled.
The morning conversation was replaced with snares and grunts. Most mornings at my sisters are full of laughter and fun. But without her coffee, a whole new social interaction is in place.
All of us who had experienced this tragedy before knew the formality. Take a few deep breaths, smile graciously, and take control of the situation. Go to the nearest Starbucks or coffee shop and get her a cup of coffee as soon as possible!
