I love coffee. Flavored coffees actually. I was never big on plain. My grandmother loved it. When I got old enough to drink it, I got her hip to the French Vanilla and Hazelnut flavors before she went on “to glory” as she would call Heaven. :-) Anywho, I digressed a little. When a person has a thyroid condition, hyper functioning actually, coffee is not your friend unless it’s decaffeinated, which is what I get. Only thing is, by the time I put sugars (yes because it’s a lot), flavored creams and all of this other stuff, shoot, I should’ve just gotten the regular type. As I’m drinking it, I can feel the rush. That’s what I love! As I continue, it’s gets stronger. Oh yes! While I’m going through it, I can get things done. That’s what I love and that’s why I do it. Then comes the fall…
I can’t take that part. The shakes, jitters, heart racing...just the sheer “coming down” part. Is this what drug addicts feel? I’m being serious when I ask this question. I’m not being cheeky. Why do I do this to myself? Again, I like the feeling and I need to get things done. The medication I’m taking stabilizes me to a point where I need the energy to do what I need to do. Although now, maybe I’m just getting older too so I’m slowing down. I don’t like that thought. :-) Well, I have prayed for natural energy and sometimes I’ll get it only IF I allow myself to accept it, but then I miss my COFFEE sooooo much. LOL
OK, so, no bible references I can think of to go with my story. I just thought I’d write about this and share my experiences. Although, if I think about it some more, I probably could come up with one like, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (KJV).” There! see! I did it! I came up with one. :-) But you know what? I’ll still keep on with the flavored coffee drinking. I just know to keep it at a minimum. Do everything in moderation right? The bible speaks on that too. Yeah, I can go for that. :-) By the way, I’m a huge tea drinker too but, that’s for another time.
