for the love of delilah

I love the smell of coffee and the whole idea of waking up in the morning and snuggling close to my mug!  I even named my cup of Joe.  ;)  Nope, not Joe, but Deliah.  My daughter even made up a song to go along with my morning cup of coffee. Both of my kids love impersonating me and if it isn't me doing yoga then its me breathing in the sensational aroma that my sweet Delilah welcomes me with every morning.  But for months I had been experiencing anxiety... NO FUN!  After practicing yoga 2 to 3 times a day and attempting meditation (while sidetracked by my whacko nervous system) my hubby said to me, "its the coffee, babe!".  LIGHTBULB moment!!  So, I turned to tea.  My sister and I signed up for a tea tasting class and stocked up on an assortment of teas at the DeKalb Farmer's Market.  I fell in love instantly!  But, occasionally when I smell coffee, I  still crave it.

This morning I woke up early, kissed the hubby goodbye and thought to myself, "I am going to make me just one cup and not feel guilty about it".  I thoroughly enjoyed every sip!  However, later I paid for it.  I met with two new friends and had the jitters for the first half of lunch.  Later, after flushing my system with vinegar water and lemon I was finally back to my sane self.

So, here I am putting this out into the universe to remind myself to NOT take another sip of coffee unless I am willing to run around mountains and valley's in hopes to free the jitters that my delightful cup of Joe brings on.  That's right!  I'm doing this!!  Goodbye coffee and hello tea and Apple Cider Vinegar tonic.  :)
