I had a lengthy conversation with my heart this morning
“Good morning heart, hope you have a great day.”
“Give me my morning coffee Ray. I’m not awake yet. I’m running on automatic pilot. Did you know coffee helps to protect from heart attacks, strokes, and heart failure, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and may even help the Red Sox win the World Series?” my heart says groggily.
I scoop out Starbucks and put it into the coffee maker. I want to make the ticker happy.
“Hey, I don’t care for the name ticker. I know what you’re thinking. Remember, I’m connected directly to your scatterbrain,” says my heart.
“Don’t get fresh, your coffee will be done in five minutes.”
“Let’s think ahead Ray. Put the coffee maker on autopilot when you go to sleep. It will be ready when you awake. Better yet, move the coffee maker next to the bed.”
“That’s all I need is to smell coffee all night long,” I say.
“What’ for dinner?” says heart.
“Dinner? I thought we were talking about coffee.”
“Unlike you, I can juggle more than 1 ball,” says heart.
“Coffee’s done, heart. I hope it turns you into a kinder, gentler person.”
Nothing is spoken for a bit.
“My, you’re looking good Ray. Coffee is my miracle drink. Let’s enjoy the day and life.
CHEERS!
