During those times what did you share with your beloved wife as you reminisce the times that you two were still in high school and your spirits were high? What did you reach for in the open flame trying to make sure that everything was just right?

What was the one thing the two of you could share hurriedly in the morning and savor slowly and deliberately in the evening? What one thing that bonds you and your wife on the cold nights of autumn and the very cold days of winter? What is the only thing that you enjoy more than a two-inch steak?

I think you know what I'm talking about here. I think you have caught the drift...I am talking about the only potion known to man that is both powerful and soothing at the same time. Yes folks, I am talking about coffee. Coffee, the caffeine packed, antioxidant rich and most flexible of God's entire gift to man.

Enjoying the power of coffee

Coffee has shared our lives in many ways than one. For some people, it is that first cup of coffee that they made for a special someone. For others, it is that cup of coffee they shared on a cold winter night.

I can still remember one of my friends going like this...one day I was at one of them fancy caf's outside the office building. I had a regular cup of brewed coffee in front of the piles of work I had to do for the day. I was just finishing my work when a voice came at me out of nowhere.

"Hi there! Mind if I share the table?" I looked up and saw the most beautiful face I have ever seen in my life. I said it was okay and I stood up and got her seated. Man! I couldn't believe we talked for over an hour.

I was about to ask her a question when she excused herself. She suddenly said, "Oh! I'm sorry I've got to get going my husband's here!" the thing is, I didn't even get her name but I do remember the coffee she was having that day...Hazelnut Frapuccino. Good thing that I know my coffee, I think hazelnut frap will forever hold a very, very special place in my heart.
