Day 114: Cup of Joe for a Joe

Today was a struggle for me to get going.  I couldn't get out of bed quickly, and was plodding around the house completely tired.  My wife had to get to work early so she was pushing me to get moving.  I was able to finally get ready but almost fell asleep in the car on the way to her work.  It wasn't until I had my first cup of coffee that I finally started to function like a normal adult.  I never really drank coffee before Isla was born, but have started drinking it almost daily now.  I kind of take it for granted that my wife will always have a cup of coffee waiting for me in the morning. 

Recently, I was emailed a suggestion for a random act and since my morning pretty much depended on me getting coffee into my system, I figured today was as good as any to do it.  Green Beans Coffee runs a program called Cup of Joe for A Joe where you are able to purchase a cup of coffee for soldiers stationed overseas.  In addition to the cup of coffee, you are able to write a letter to whomever receives the coffee.  So today, for my random act of kindness, I am going to purchase a cup of Joe for a Joe (or Jane) and write some words of encouragement.  A cup of coffee can not only provide the soldiers with some added caffeine to stay on their toes, but can also provide them with a semblance of the comforts of home.
