Good Morning! Would You Like Some Coffee?


            Alright, so I'm not really a morning person, in fact, this post will be scheduled to go up before my morning alarms go off. But I do like coffee! I came across this great video in my YouTube recommendations in the aftermath of the A to Z Challenge. I actually did mention this particular cantata in my post for Letter D. This is the 4th movement in J.S. Bach's Secular cantata Schweigt stille, plaudert nicht, also known as the Coffee Cantata. This song is quite hilarious, if you read the English lyrics (or know German). And believe it or not, it was written between 1732 and 1735! I hope you enjoy :)


 
 
            In other news, I wanted to continue some thoughts on my post from a few weeks ago, but I have not managed to get them written out yet, but it should be coming at some point. I did find a nice way to share some of my older devotional posts. I signed up for Michael G D'Agostino's Flashback Friday, which will occur the last Friday of each month. Since that post is already written, I will probably have two posts next week, one on Wednesday and my first Flashback Friday post. So, I will be back next week. Now go get that coffee, milk, orange juice, or whatever morning beverage you enjoy!

    Not a coffee drinker. Give me an energy drink.

    1. Alex, I think the Flashback Fridays will be fun and easy! No thanks on the energy drinks, unless it's Rock Star coffee flavored :)

  2. Hehe, nice lyrics. Like Alex, I don't drink coffee. Give me a Red Bull, though, and you've made me one happy squirrel.

    1. Loni, I'm not a fan of Red Bulls, but they sure do have a kick to them!

  3. I'll have to check out the video when I'm not at work. I'm not a coffee drinker. Does water in the morning count?

    1. Liz, sure water counts! It's my second go-to drink after my morning (and sometimes afternoon) coffee :)

    1. Betty, I can handle coffee in the afternoons pretty well, but I do not allow myself to have any after 7pm or I will not sleep!

  5. Oh, how this post pains me! I love my morning coffee--2 to 3 cups. Last week I went into the hospital for some heart work so I've had to stop my coffee for a while. I drank one cup yesterday morning and didn't feel well later on--don't know if there is a correlation. This morning I fixed a cup of instant decaf which tasted pretty good.

    I'm looking forward to when I can get back to my morning coffee. Maybe not so many cups though.

    1. Arlee, Oh no! I would be so sad/grumpy without my coffee to get me going in the morning. I hope you can enjoy it again soon! I can't handle more than one cup at once, but it's ok if I spread them out over a few hours, otherwise I get jittery.

  6. Who knew they had such a sense of humor back then! It could be used as a coffee commercial, actually.
