3 Cups of Coffee

God Bless my Mother.

The other day she listened intently as I complained how difficult this all is. Like I'm just watching my life pass me by as I sit with my legs up so I can breathe a little better.

And I see her wheels turning.

Thinking of a way to help her daughter battle this up hill climb.

See her open her mouth, her eyes light up with some inner wisdom. And I silence myself so I can absorb it. Hear it. Learn it.

And she says, in all her glory, "You know, Lia. I bet all your problems would be solved if you drank 3 cups of coffee a day. You know they say coffee is good for you."

Oh, mom. Mom.

Thanks for the laugh...
