I don't remember exactly when I had my first cup of coffee. Maybe it was when I spent the afternoons at my grandmother's house as a child. She would give us sweet bread and coffee with milk at snack time. I think that's the first memory I'm aware of related to having coffee. Since then, I have drunk a lot of coffee. But in all this time of being a coffee lover, I never knew that October 1st was International Coffee Day. But now thanks to my friends in the Cinnamon Cup Coffee Community, I know. And of course, I'm going to celebrate it with you, coffee friends.
So let me share with you three of my cherished coffee moments.
Dear R,
I can't believe it's been a year since we had that coffee a few hours before you got on the plane and started a new stage of your life. We've had a few coffees since then, though not as many as I'd like.
I look forward to seeing you soon, hugging you, and chatting while we have a couple of espressos just the way you like them.
*Happy Coffee Day!
Love you β‘, MOM.
This first postcard is for my son. We had the coffee on the pic the afternoon before we took him to the airport to take the plane to go study abroad. He has turned out to be a coffee lover like us. I miss him very much although I am very happy for him and all his achievements. But I can't wait to have him home and lay on the couch to chat over a cup of coffee.
Dear E,
How is it possible that it's International Coffee Day and we haven't met up for a creamy cappuccino and catch up. We should be able to remedy that as soon as possible. I hope you'll be free tomorrow to meet at our usual coffee place.
Happy Coffee Day! Hugs, C.
E has been my friend since we were in kindergarten. She is one of those friends who has always been in my life in good times and bad. Sometimes, we don't see each other as much as we would like because day-to-day life doesn't allow us. But whenever we can, we get together to have a coffee and catch up. And we promise each other every time that we will do it more often, hehe. That cappuccino is the one I took on our latest coffee out.
Dear Me,
This postcard is for you to remember that your me time in the morning while you enjoy your cup of coffee looking out the balcony should not be skipped no matter how busy the day is projected to be. It is one of those little details of life that are priceless, and you deserve to have it every day.
Happy Coffee Day with love, your favorite cuppa.
My morning coffee is one of those sacred moments of the day in which I dedicate time for myself. To ruminate in my thoughts while sipping my coffee. However, some days I let the hustle and bustle of what's coming up make that moment fade away and although there is always coffee, there are days that I drink it in a flash, hehe.
This is my entry to the COFFEE CONTEST: In Celebration of Int'l Coffee Day. Cheers! βοΈ

Thank you very much, Jesus!
We have been the generation that has had to see our children leave in search of a better future for them. It is not easy but one has to be grateful for the opportunities that are presented to them.
A big hug, my friend. And thanks for the support always π€

Hey @coquicoin
You answered the prompt to the tee, and everything was on point!
This was a beautiful post to wake up to this morning, and you had some strong points and memories for each card, especially postcard number 3. I thoroughly enjoyed this, and your photos are amazing.
A very nice contest entry π
Thank you, Milly! π
My pleasure to join the prompt βοΈβ€οΈ
When was my 1st coffee? Can't remember too but perhaps it was sharing a sip from a cup of my Mom since she is a coffee lover.
Thought E was Edward, lol...
Read about this too but I haven't had photos of coffee in my gallery for now
Hehe!! Well, that E is not Edward, lol! But Edward Tengo is also a coffee lover. It could be a blast if we ever have a coffee together someday ;)
Oo yeah he is and even drink coffee at night
Well who knows maybe someday!

Awesome postcards! π I hope someday when my kiddos grow up, they like coffee too. That's a great bond to be able to share, especially paired with all the yummy stuff from card #1!
A good friend to share a coffee with is fabulous too... And that first coffee of the day in solitude, that's pure gold! I try to wake up early enough to just sit and sip my first mug, I always feel I have a more put together day after that. Thanks for the fantastic read π
Thank you π
And yep! You are right, that first cup in the morning when we are with ourselves in total calm is pure gold. I used to be quite disciplined when my son was young to get up very early to have that moment before starting the bustle of the day. But as I've gotten older, I'm not so disciplined and there are days when that moment disappears to my regret.
π€ βοΈ
This was so emotional to read. Especially the third one where you write to yourself. This contest has made me understand that coffee is not just a drink but a tradition and a lifestyle. I'm pretty sure the mornings you stand out by the balcony to reflect and admire nature, will never feel the same without coffee.
Parting from our parents is usually hard, and I'm certain your boy misses you just as much as you miss him, if not more. I wish him well in his studies and Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us.
You are right, being a coffee lover is a lifestyle βοΈπ
Thank you for your best wishes and for stopping by:)
Hiya!

Best of luck!

Your photos look amazing π» I'm fascinated by those shades of brown and beige that pair so well with a cup of coffee.
I was touched to read the postcard to your son. Those goodbyes are not usually easy. I wish you can drink coffee and chat together, soon π.
Over here one who also sometimes drinks her coffee in a jiffy π I think I'm going to have to talk to my cup seriously π€.
Thank you, @purpleglitter π
You should have that talk with your cuppa πππ€
Your postcards are very beautiful and you can feel the love that flows in each dedication. Happy international coffee day!
I leave you a cup of delicious coffee.β
Happy day.
Thank you!!! Happy IC day to you, too π
Cheers βοΈ
Happy IC Day Super Eli!
What can I say ... only three postcards!
I am teasing yes great coffee partners and of course the last one is the best in my eyes πππ!
Hehe, Super Ed! Happy ICD!βοΈ
You know I would love to have a postcard someday of a coffee with you πππ
Hehe thank you Super Eli and yes I know!
Cant remember my first coffee, but remember that I didnt like it. This came later when I started to meet friends for a coffee and it came with lot of milk and sugar in it π
Enjoy your me time β€οΈ
I think most people start drinking coffee with sugar. I really can't drink black coffee with sugar, I don't like it at all. But if it has milk in it, I'll pass it a little more.
Happy Tuesday, beeber βοΈππ

(no space) to get help on Hive. InfoI also didn't know that October 1st was International Coffee Day, who would say?
I also have beautiful memories of my first cups of coffee, and it was with my grandparents that I learned to drink it.
Coffee, like music, is a good companion, it is the ideal company for all types of emotions, no matter how you feel, sad, thoughtful, very happy, a cup of coffee in your hands is the company.
I appreciate that you shared your three moments in the company of a cup of coffee. Beautiful post dear friend @coquicoin
Have a happy day
I had never thought of comparing coffee with music, but you are right, both are excellent companions and brighten our spirits.
Have a lovely afternoon π€βοΈ
You wrote 3 awesome letters filled with love and I just love it. It is nice still having your long time friend stick with you while you both enjoy the love of coffee.
Also, I had fun reading your me time coffee letter.
Thank you! You are very kind:) Cheers βοΈ
You are welcome π. Thanks for the Coffee.
Definitely having a delicious cup of coffee in the company of our loved ones makes it more special, I loved your postcards friend, good luck in the contest.Greetings
Beautiful,.I loved it and it made me very nostalgic that you have your loved ones far away from you. Hugs

Aawww what a sweat postcards! I don't remember my first cup of coffee but when I used to visit every summer my family that lives by the mountains in a small village, the breakfast or the afternoon snack was a piece of bread and a cup of coffee with milk, usually with sugar also.
From there, I've been drinking coffee every day, I love it and specially have a cup in a coffee shop where is well prepared.
It was a pleasant surprise to see that you opted, like me, for the first option of the contest. There is definitely a special synchronicity. I loved each of your postcards and the one with the mug made me smile. Very original and creative, my dear @coquicoin.
Gracias, querida @aurodivys π€π
