Greetings friends of @cinnccf, what a pleasure it gives me this celebration that celebrates the International Day of Coffee, that beverage that enlivens me, wakes me up and with which I have shared beautiful moments with family, friends and even strangers, that also accompanies me in the not so good moments and in those in which I submerge in myself to find ways to take my life to new spaces of well-being.

On the first of October we coffee lovers celebrate your existence and we also celebrate those who cultivate the tradition of a good pure and tasty coffee, as well as those who, in a creative way, have made of you an ingredient to highlight your flavor in drinks, desserts and dishes. I toast to you and let's keep the party going.

I join this celebration proposed by the Cinnamon Cup Coffee community, presenting three postcards, each one in three moments of the day that revolve around coffee. Join me in this sharing of experiences.

First thing in the morning

My first coffee in the morning is usually with milk, I like what we call here a light brown, more coffee than milk, I like to savor it while being thankful for the new day and with positive and beautiful thoughts and this is my first postcard.

I dedicate it to my daughter, with whom I have just spent three months after five years without seeing her. The photos that surround the coffee were printed as part of the birthday gift she recently gave me, photos of wonderful moments that we lived just in this opportunity, which seemed to me a delicate gesture full of love. My postcard for her reads:

Hello Mommy, God bless you. Here I am, drinking my coffee, looking at the pictures and remembering your hugs, cuddles and care. I love you, take care of yourself and I want to think that we will see each other soon. Big hugs. Mom.

My second coffee and many more

After the latte and to start working I pour an average of two or three half cups of coffee, as they say: everyone has their own ways. I don't like a full cup of coffee, I prefer to pour myself half a cup very hot, steaming and as I drink it, it takes the right temperature, calmly and enjoying the moment.

Usually, I am already wide awake and while I drink it I concentrate on my things, on what is pending, on planning the day. At other times I am more reflective and coffee is my silent companion. To him is the dedication of my second postcard.

Friend coffee, I am happy to greet you and celebrate your existence with you, because you have been a wonderful companion with whom I have shared many joys and you have comforted me in my sadness. Thank you, thank you, let's continue together in this, my journey. Damarys.

Afternoon coffee

The afternoon coffee is a nice moment, since I drink it with my husband on the porch of the house. For him it is the only coffee of the day, he likes it with milk and to accompany it with a cookie, cake, or toast with jam or other variants.

This coffee is relaxing. Today, in particular, it served as a mitigator of emotions, because my husband was very tense in the morning due to internet failures and some business operations he had to do.

Sometimes I allow his bad mood to affect me and we are both grumpy. As if by magic, the coffee diluted the bad mood, the smile surfaced and together we took the pictures where the coffee was the center of attention. I dedicate my third postcard to him.

Dear pa', what a pleasure it was to share coffee this afternoon. I always appreciate that the simple things that unite us are present in our daily lives to allow us to let the bad times pass and meet again in the good ones. I love you very much, hugs. Damarys.

With this I close my participation in the contest organized by the community, thanking you for such a great idea that helped me to honor my great friend coffee and at the same time to make catharsis. Greetings.
