Joyful Habit

Describe one habit that brings you joy.

One habit? Hmm

I would ordinarily say yoga without even thinking, but today I’ve actually not done my usual yoga for weeks because of traveling and such.

Today I’m going to pick coffee drinking as my joyful habit because, that, I have not missed one single day of.

Plus, it truly brings me joy. Even with this terrible head cold. Even with no sleep, even when I can barely swallow. Hot coffee never disappoints. I have a weird (I’m calling it so you know it’s fine) blending out of my coffee with ginger tea. It’s more coffee at first, then less and less coffee more tea as the day goes on. Always with the perfect splash of heavy cream. I stay hydrated, comforted, whatever magic I need on that day. Lately, it’s been nice on my throat.

There. Coffee. I have no regrettable feelings about this habit. None whatsoever.

My good friend Wendi used to feel guilty for her coffee. She tried quitting so often. If only she could hear the-coffee-is-good-for-you bandwagon of late. I wish she could enjoy a guilt free cup right now.
