Big Win: Dominating my Irresistible Word of the Year
My word this year is coffee. Because, seriously, it is my best friend.
When I spend time with coffee I feel refreshed and energized.
When I have problems, heartaches and tears, coffee eases my trials.
When I am exhausted from all the amazing things I am doing, coffee is right there to reward me for a job well done, and give me a pick up to keep going.
I can’t think of any word I need more this year than coffee.
Coffee
Hot bitter jolt
Awakens the tongue
Morning dew of earth
In my mouth
Your bitterness is sweet
Transforming barren brown
Into a color of lush
To help me focus and remember my word this year I will begin each morning by drinking a cup full of my word. I will repeat around 10am.
I will not hang up a picture of my word, but I will appreciate the beauty of the coffee pot as I pour my cup each morning.
I will be grateful for the ease and speed of the modern coffee machine.
Coffee, I love you.
(Update: As of June I remembered my word every day this year!)
