I enjoy coffee.
It makes me happy.
So I have two cups every morning.
Black.
I had graduated to drinking two MUGS of coffee each morning, but decided I was going a little overboard.
You can get too much of a good thing!
I got to thinking about coffee drinkers from the 1950's.
Think of the cups June and Ward drunk their morning and evening coffee from.
What about Lucy and Ricky's coffee cups?
They weren't 12 ounce mugs like I was using.
They were tiny.
If June could get her housework done on a tiny cup of coffee (or two) so could I!
So, I set out to find myself the "perfect" coffee cup.
It should be small... dainty even.
It should be dark so I don't feel guilty when I see coffee stains in it that I don't want to scrub out.
It should make me happy when I fill it up every morning with my happy brew.
It wasn't easy finding the cup to meet all my requirements.
I searched for quite awhile and then
Ta-Da!
There it was sitting on a shelf in the thrift store, just waiting for me!
Simple perfection!
I can now enjoy my small, girly cups of coffee each morning guilt-free
because
I now read that coffee...in moderation...is good for me!
It can help me lose weight!
(You can read that article here.)
And
It keeps me happy and fights off depression!
(Read that article here.)
I'm trying to apply the idea of moderation in other areas of my life.
Maybe I should next look at my sweets consumption.
Would this be considered moderate?
How about you?
How do you like your coffee?
From a mug?
From a dainty little tea cup?
Black?
Sweet and creamy?
P.S. Thanks to everyone for your helpful comments on my last post! I'm still reading and rereading them all and mulling it over. In the meantime I remain
~A Happy Valentine~
