Coffee With an Old Friend

    As the ever wise Meredith Grey once said, "Communication, it's the first thing we really learn in life." This couldn't be more true. While driving the mainstream of our lives, we communicate in more ways than we realize. On a more simple note, there are very few people who can say they've never had a good chat with an old friend over coffee. If you haven't, I feel bad for you. And for those of you that have, you know it's one of the more simple joys in life.

     These conversations over coffee reconnect us. In the chaos of our lives we sometimes forget to stop and catch up with our old friends. Having the pleasure to sit back, and indulge in a good conversation over a rich cup of coffee is sometimes just what you need to get through the day. It's the beauty of sharing bits of our lives with others that make the coffee shop scene somewhat picturesque. You can look into any Starbucks and see people of all ages sitting together passing the time. Others sit alone, such as students, or working professionals who stopped for a quick second to get a coffee. 

     These patterns reoccur on a day to day basis all over the world, sometimes on bigger or smaller scales. As human beings, we sometimes forget that we practice the same habits simultaneously while we go about our daily lives. If we step back and look at this image from the bigger picture, we can dissect much more. The sharing of our time, our lives, and our appreciation for each other marks the beauty of the simple sit down over a cup of coffee. As always, La Vie est Belle.
