I wake each day with mostly the same ritual. Wake up open gate, turn on coffee machine, if there is little hot water il throw on some heat to allow myself have a hot shower to wash away the nights stickiness and sweat. It actually helps with the arthritis to loosen the joints up, well im lead to believe it does so im trying to convince myself each day that its great. Actually events my show other wise but either way its good to start the day fresh as a daisy.
Tea, black tea being Irish I would of partaken in many thousands of cups over the years, many people I know indulge in adding sugar and cows milk, for me this was only an option if I had a bad headache the sugar used to help relief headaches, perhaps it was the heat from the beverage coupled with the hit of the sugar. For the longest time I rarely if at all take cows milk in tea and in coffee latte or flat white it actually tastes to me disgusting now after using plant based alternatives. Ive no idea the long term effects of drinking non dairy drinks but I know that dairy cause inflammation in the body along with man other issues. I yes I grew up drinking pints of the stuff, nothing would beat a cold pint of ice cold milk ….mm id have some even if I was out in a restaurant, while my buddies would sip on the beverage of choice, wine or beer id be swallowing down the pints of milk like I was a new born calf. my weapon of dilution now for milk alternatives is simple Oatly, oats, soy, coconut, almond. vanilla and soy when making iced coffee this drink is magical.
What’s the what with the black beans of love, the simple yet remarkable beautiful roasted coffee bean. Something wonderful in smelling a hand full of fresh roasted beans. The sweet aroma, like pavals dog my tongue begins to salivate knowing that in a short while it will be covered from back to tip in a delicious creamy velvety dark to golden nectar. the freshest of beans with the finest of grinds coupled with fresh filtered and heated water, extracted at up to 9bars of pressure. the only variance in taste is mostly on the operator side.
So today I decided not just to put pen to paper or rather fingers to keyboard I decided to do another impromptu film of how I make the coffee. Ive attached it below. What joy can you get from a day? what joy can you get from a moment? what joy will you allow yourself to have today? life is for living and loving, embrace the day make yourself someone to be proud of, not for anyone but just for you, people will see in you what they need to right or wrong, no one will ever understand you as much as you allow yourself too. Its deep thinking for a morning.The ivory tower where some people are judging others may be along way up but its also a long way down and nothing last forever. Not you, not I. Love more than yesterday and be happy for the fact you can be alive.
