Coffee is better when you are drinking it with someone. I met my friend Andy. He famously posted a message that read, "Andy says, "Optimism"". Great that! Something really meaningful in just one or two words. That's hard to do. So the perfect person for some froth with. And the perfect person to help get rid of that other froth...life's inner bubbles and troubles.
So there we were chin wagging for our life about work, blogging, podcasting, inspiration networking by just using friends and just at that point it hit me. I took a look around. A coffee shop full of other frotheteers. Friends with friends, old friends, best friends, work friends, business buddies, mothers and daughters, sons and lovers, the world and his wife. Go back to Ancient Greece or the pillars of Rome and there, in the town square among the marble, people sat and discussed the wisdoms. Those set down, those they believed and those that would make a better world for themselves and everyone else. They gossiped and chatted, worried at the state of things and put the world to rights.
And so it goes on today. Over coffee. So coffee is good. It brings us together. Friends from all sides of the tracks but friends nonetheless. It connects us as much as a blog or social website. We meet, we talk, we share our thoughts and it makes us feel better. I must do this more often. Yea, coffee and optimism. They go well together!
