As I posted the last post I reread the subtitle for my blog and was provoked to add the following thoughts about coffee.
I drink a lot and would feel justified in saying that without it my person suffers. That is to say that I teach more that just the first english class after lunch with drooping eyelids and drifting thoughts... I guess I could summarize by simply saying that I NEED it.
However I have also noticed another phenomemon connected with my coffee consumption. Twenty minutes after I have drank a cup of the stuff I feel my heart rate jump significantly. And for the subsequent 45 minutes it tends to stay at the accelerated level of beating. Feelings of jumpiness, a steady shake, and occasionaly shortness of breath top it off. It's not something I particularly enjoy.
So I am left with no where to go. And like a broken man, I always end up back with the drink. Jumpy with an accelerating heartbeat is a small price to pay for the momentary satisfaction of tasting the smooth black liquid go down and make all drowsiness disappear...
But sometimes I wonder if I am becoming just another hypochondriac like the rest of them...

hummmmm...another one (Alli is headed down the same path) following their Father's habit. So your finding out first hand that coffee isn't good for you, maybe you should abandon it before it is too late! Find alternative, healthy ways to cope with life...rest(physically, emotional & spiritually) and low glycemic eating where your blood sugar is maintained at a constant level, instead of jumping around which is caused by too much and wrong type of sugars, etc.
thanks mum, you know best! but what you don't know is how good a hot coffee on any sort of day feels as it goes down!!!
............a hypocondriac and addicted!:-) :-(
