my breaking free of the tv (3 years ago?)

, ,

very early mornings, when, after i wake up, i decide to stay up and talk to God rather than go back to sleep (i had stopped getting up early and it was soooooo hard to start again....KAC helped me more than he realizes when he spoke of this very thing)

, , oh-now, then for you, me and other I have heard it from saying,

'I don't like it, it's like you're dead at that point.'

drinking less coffee

looking out the window and seeing the very first glimmers of dawn's light and the stars still in the sky

drinking less coffee

The item of amount remains a question for some of us. B'cus my brother and I were raised on coffee, like pots-o-day Then over the years I got into the health scene, then this, and then that interest until today I am down to about a half-pot in the morn, good for the day.

i always put creamer and honey in it (stopped using white sugar) but i had to stop using that too.....

Creamer? Yep, ideally, but will scratch down a stiff black cup when the opportunity arises

Let's see, somewhere in the vicinity, I find a hearty welcome to 1-pt whole milk, 1-pt evap-milk, 2-pts pre-sweetened creamer. And if I had the choice would likely avoid those caulky-textured creamers.

Yea-I know, terribly picky

Maybe what helped me stop drinking it is that very thing.....really bad chalky creamer and the coffee is an abominable "instant" kind.

(can someone PM me to explain how a butterfly or a dragonfly can be sent by g-d to minister to you, and how is this ministering?)

In my case it was a dragonfly that settled on a chair in front of me in the garden on a sunny day. He showed me what it is to really 'chill out',as he seemed to sunbathe with his wings spread out glistening in the sun. It was a small thing that certainly spoke to me about God's rest. I had been tired and stressed. It took a dragon fly to show me how to chillax!
