Today is the national day of love...aka Valentines Day and although I was on the verge of hitting "Post" on my part 2 of WTF Coffeeshop Moments I felt it was more romantic of me to post some love stuff.
I realize every year there is some controversy over the commercialism of this day, but let's get real...if you have a spouse (especially a wife) you are probably doing at least one sweet gesture just to say "Happy Valentine love". Be it bringing that special someone coffee in bed, buying them a coffee card from their favorite place, or taking your love to have coffee and dessert after a special Valentine's night out, coffee is a player on Valentine's day....roses and chocolate are by no means nervous they are losing their grip, but coffee is a contender for the less traditional crowd.
And aside from coffee being a player...it is the actual object of a whole lot of people's desires. Just on Facebook there are hundreds of pages centered around the love of coffee...and thousands upon thousands of videos and other social media professions.....not even half the number of pages professing the love of our red flower friends.....take that roses! Check out this sampler of 40 songs that mention coffee:
The main reason for my change of heart though, is I actually met my wife at a coffeeshop when I was 15...crushed from afar until 18.....then re-connected again at that same shop when I was 20..asked her out and 10 years (2 children) and a lot of coffee later...we still are on this journey together.
Happy Valentine's Day all!
