Coffee is more than a drink for me, it is my lifeblood. You Do Not want to meet me before my 3rd or 4th coffee for the day. I take my coffee the way my partner describes my heart, Cold, Black and Bitter, aka double espresso over ice.
Due to my illness, I don't get to stay home alone instead I go with my partner to work about 10 hours a day 6 days a week. They have made me a nice little office out the back where I can do as I wish but I often would rather stay home. There is, however, one aspect of my partner's work that I miss on Sunday's, the coffee machine! At home we drink instant as our coffee machine gave out a couple of months ago and as we are only home 1 day a week, it seems a waste to buy a new one.
My First Monday Morning Double Espresso is a ritual that is one of the few times in my week I successfully practice Mindfulness. For the full minute it takes, from the sound of the grinding beans through to watching the creama rise to the top, just breathing in the smell of the coffee...Monday Morning Bliss!
If you need some mindfulness practice see my bliss below (I love our Delonghi!)
Till Next Time
