Every morning or sometimes only a few days a week I make a small pot of coffee. The reason for this is because I like the smell of fresh perked coffee as well as the sound of the coffee pot while the coffee is brewing. Other days I have hot tea and if it is really warm something cold to drink like orange juice or even lemonade and maybe even iced tea.
Coffee or tea is the
opportunity to wake up
feeling
fearless for the days' work
eliciting just a taste for
extravagant tastes.
(Note: The extravagant tastes are the flavored coffees and creamers as well as the different flavors of tea that are out there in the world. We also know all about the frappes, the cappuccinos, the espressos, etc. to wake us up. There are so many choices to make now-a-days. So, enjoy your morning joe and have a good day.

There are Days
There are days that I feel like doing what the dog in the picture is doing, but this is an article about some special days that seems to be like holidays. We all know and observe days like Mother's Day and Father's Day, but did you also know that there's a day for children and grandparents. There are the federal holidays of Veteran's and President's Day, which the latter is coming up very soon for there is also an Armed Forces Day and a Patriot Day, as well as days for particular people or groups of people as Martin Luther King Day and Juneteenth that are also federal holidays, and I almost forgot about Columbus Day and St. Patrick's Day even though they are not federal days but are still days that various groups celebrate every year even like the one that just passed Valentine's Day for all kinds of relationships. I know there is Christmas Day, New Year's Day, Easter Sunday, Thanksgiving Day, Memorial Day and Independence Day and even Canada Day on the calendar, but these days are for everyone just about for the days I mentioned earlier are ones that usually do not get 'celebrated' quite as much with television specials and things like that. If any readers have anything that they want to share or want to mention a day I forgot please comment it would really be appreciated.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

The African Diaspora and History of Rhetoric: Learning to Learn
When studying the history of rhetoric, many groups were excluded from participating in power and were used, abused, and written off as inferior. Even today African nations have not recovered from being exploited by European powers.

I love coffee and tea. I drink coffee in the morning and tea at night. My Mum doesn't like all the flavored choices. She says coffee should taste like coffee, and tea, like tea.
Tea for me please, nice one Mark ♦️♦️♦️

This delightful piece adds a touch of poetic charm to the experience, highlighting the variety and joy that these drinks bring to our mornings.
