Coffee and Thunder

As we slide away from Covid spring and into summer. Consider your afternoon coffee. A pause in the thunder storm that busy spring days can be. Breaks are crucial. Pauses are crucial. Pausing longer than you are comfortable can also be crucial.

It's 2pm I'm in the midst of the rush of the day, my boss comes and tells me I absolutely can't do things the way I am doing them, I get a call from my family insisting I follow their advice on a current relationship, I want to hang out with friends and unwind but alas that choice is illegal. Did this all happen in the course of 1 hour?....to those dramatic hopefuls' out there... no, no it did not. However something did happen to me at 2pm. The thunderous voice in my head reminded me about everything that is not going my way.

Instead of arguing with the thunder in my head. I took a break with this gem. It didn't solve my problems, but it let me pause, appreciate the moment, and let the head storm pass.

Weaver'sCoffee&Tea Sumatra Blend. This Indonesian Sumatra volcano soil driven bean has a flavor of sweet, spicy, and floral with a full body of a brew. I recommend for entering an oasis on a thunderous afternoon.
