Coffee Break

    I cut caffeine from my diet about 15 years ago and never looked back.  But, I still enjoy a daily decaf tea or coffee.  My favorites are Twinings Irish Breakfast Tea, Twinings English Breakfast Tea and of course Starbuck's decaf coffee.  I also cut sugar from my diet ever so long ago, I've found that sugar is unnecessary.  I enjoy my tea and coffee with just a little cream and the richness of their natural flavors.  That warmth that permeates the morning chill is crucial on a day like this.  
    The mornings are meeker now, the sunrise just a little dimmer as autumn gives way to winter, but the holiday shopping season is upon us and I have to get out and walk from store to store at least once per season.  I know that it's far easier to stay at home and browse the web for bargains, but there's something to be said for the social aspect of shopping with friends, chatting with store staff and other shoppers, and of course no delayed gratification of having to wait for weeks for my items to arrive like there is with online shopping.  I can take all my gifts come right home and wrap them up.  Of course, there are also no crowds or rude sales staff when shopping online, but when that happens, it's time to step back a little bit, pause, and enjoy a coffee break.
