Coffee

You know, it is really hard to give up something that will actually affect the way you work with people.

What I gave up for Lent?

Caffeine.

I had a bad day on Monday. I did poorly on a test and I was disappointed on how socially I was interacting with some people. It is insane how much a cup of coffee changed my day. I felt alive, alert and able to face my problems head on. I loved it, and sadly I am happy I stopped giving up what I promised. Maybe it is the effort that counts. Maybe, as my religion professor Booth said, it is about learning about yourself and not being able to give something up. But I'm just happy to have my coffee back.

    Andrew,
    I'm glad Booth helped.
    Your account of the benefit of the cup of coffee does remind me of the claims being made for tea in the pre-revolutionary colonies!
    You could count yesterday as a 'day off' and return to the fast.
