Drink your Coffee Black and Sugarcoat Your Life...
Black coffee, black coffee, how great are you?
With all your ground beans and flavors so true....
Who decided to put sugar in coffee? It's like putting salt on a pickle-- totally unnecessary. Okay, maybe that's a bad comparison but still... why do we need everything to be so damn sweet? Not only do we put cinnamon & sugar on bagels now, but we put candy in ice cream and dip Oreos in chocolate. Enough already. What happened to the natural flavor of things? Why eat a candy apple when an apple is already crisp and sweet? We're living in an age of sugar-a-holics. A friend recently told me that her co-worker puts 21 packets of Splenda in her morning coffee. 21 packets! What the hell?
Is life not as sweet? Are we making up for our dry, bland, tasteless lives?
I say: put sugar in your life not your belly.
How to put some sugar in your life:
Smile at a stranger, give money to a street musician, kiss a friend, write a thank you, put a :) in an email, dance for your roommate, cook a dinner (from scratch), gmail chat with an old acquaintance, ride your bike, be nice to your Mom, do the dishes, watch The Neverending Story, braid your hair, shave your head, play Guitar Hero, roast marshmallows, water a plant, say thank you, play cards, walk a dog, listen without interrupting, read an old love letter, buy a new music album, people watch, eat alone, join the mile high club, detox your body, listen to bird calls, put on sunscreen, sleep on an air mattress and give your guest the bed, tip the coffee guy, take a road trip, swing in a hammock, smile for no reason except that you can...
And drink your coffee black, enjoying all the rich & simple goodness in life...
