Morning coffee with a healthy dose of vitamin Sea, anyone?!

And with this mesmerizing tropical view while thoroughly listening to the gentle humming of the waves with the early morning breeze soothing in my senses - there's no better way for me to enjoy every single sip of my morning coffee that I wouldn't trade with anything in the world.

This is where I grew up - a secluded piece of paradise on earth where the young warrior in me was molded and forged for more than two decades of my existence to face and conquer life's strongest storms. A benevolent shore where my empty cup of coffee was filled up with dense shaking and overflowing warm love to fuel up my fragile spirit the moment I set my sail through the vast ocean called life.

I sat here for a while and took my cup of coffee to savor the moment. Every sip was not just allowing a hot drink of roasted coffee beans to get into my senses, but a soothing magical substance that quenched not just my thirst for my feet's craving for a cool summer getaway, but more with my soul's in dire need of the warmth and comfort of being back home. Yes, it's always good to be back.

Found an instant coffee table with this coconut tree stump.

Will have my nails pedicured later. 😅

Every tiny touch of waves on my skin is giving me a splash of nostalgia as a vivid memory of me playing in this exact spot when I was a child and realize now just how fast those days slipped through my fingers. It made me smile thinking that I have this funny feeling that my 8-year-old self is trapped inside my 38th-year-old body. Coming back here made me immerse myself in reliving those good old days from three decades ago. Like those many childhood friends I've played with along the way, those salt in my skin and sand under my feet may have come and gone. The driftwood of my childhood wounds may have all been washed away by the frisky waves of time but the happy memories linger, with the indelible remark written profoundly in the sand of my heart.

And so this mere cup of morning coffee has given me quite a relaxing time to ponder about a few things in life that matter the most. To put away all my worries behind and take a sip of this refreshing dose of Vitamin Sea I so desperately need for me not to be stuck in the doldrums of modern existence.

Boiled banana as a perfect pair for my coffee and why not?!

Every sip was a relishing sweet escape from the bitter somberness of being away from home for so long. A simple cup of morning coffee with the people close to my heart is exactly what I need to have my exhausted adult self powered up.

Every sip is not just savoring the bitter-sweet beverage, but rather, it is a rest. It is a pause to get myself off overthinking and endless worries - a rest to enjoy and appreciate the beauty of life that sometimes I tend to take for granted because it is being blurred by the endless cycle of paying bills, taxes, and responsibilities of darn adulthood. A well-deserved rest to have my soul rejuvenated and keep me back on track.

There's no better feeling than being back at home and connecting with one's roots. This looks like one of the coolest places in the world to have a coffee, especially when there are so many sentiments behind it:)))

No better feeling indeed! I could sit here all day from sunrise to sunset. Truly is a no better place to enjoy and savor the best coffee at home. 😊

Thank you @millycf1976

kanang mas pilion nimu ika uban ang kape kaysa tawo hahaha. Kape lang sapat na!

Mas ok kaayo magmuni muni kauban ang kape kay murag mas muunong ug maminaw pa ang ilang kainit sa mga nagkaguliyang nga gumunhap sa atong kinabuhi, kay ang tao usahay husgahan pa ka (aw di pud nuon tanan😅).

mo unong man tuod ang kape sa mga yango-ngo nato,inubanan sa iyang katam.is ug ka init, apan kaning tanan temporaryo lamang 🤣😁🥰

:) I had my coffee at my PC along with my wannabe McDo sausage mcmuffin (the frozen one). I won a whopping $5 today! :P

Isn't it funny, but not so funny, how our physical years don't match our mental/emotional selves..

Ohhh congrats again, you are a lucky guy who almost won at everything huh?! 😃 Would you like to trade your Mcdo sausage Mcmuffin with my brewed banana from the countryside? Haha

Yeah, we are always young at heart and that's all that matters. 💙

Oh YEA, I would trade all the Mcmuffins! :P u mean u actually brew the coffee with bananas?

😋

It's just the banana that I brewed. The coffee was just a simple instant 3-in-1 that I bought from our neighbor's sari-sari store 😅

Kalami magkape dha. Sana all heheh

Walay panlaban ang Starbucks ug Tim Horton ani ren 😅

Mao ni tinuod nga luxury coffeee. Hehehe

Nice kaau ihigda sa peebles day nya tan-aw2x sa panganud 😄

Sama sa mga gapnod nga gianod-anod sa balud sa kinabuhi Jack, walay kabalaka sa dagan sa oras. Ahhhhh okeyyyy kaayoww! 😁

lisud tugkaron sa kalagwom sa mga pinulungang bisaya 😆

😅🤣🤣

You tell your tale with so much emotion; emotion in a cup of coffee while you take in the view of your childhood and reminisce. Vitamin Sea, is a beautiful thing and you give us the perfect dose. Beautiful photos. Exquisite post.

With this serene and peaceful atmosphere in front of me, I could not take myself from reminiscing about the good old days.

Thank you so much @itsostylish for dropping by. 😊
