Just as life changes, so do my coffee habits

November 15, 2019 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

I am a coffee fanatic – I have been enjoying coffee since I was about 20 years old. There are so many reasons to love coffee, one of which is that it has helped me through the day on more than one occasion. When my kids were babies and not sleeping very much {which means that I wasn’t sleeping much either}, I was seriously sleep deprived. I could barely function. Regardless of my lack of sleep, there were still things to be done each day, and this is why I was so grateful for my coffee. Just as life changes, so do my coffee habits.

I have to be honest – back in those days, I might have indulged in too much coffee, but hey, I did what I had to do. I shudder to think back on how much money I must have spent on coffee at home, and coffee I bought at specialty coffee shops. Looking back now, it probably would have been wise to just purchase my coffee from wholesale coffee suppliers so I could have saved money, but it’s a little late now!

As my children were growing up, my coffee consumption slowed down a bit. My kids were sleeping better and so was I. Life was good – I discovered a coffee subscription. I was rested, and I mostly drank coffee for the pleasure of it. I learned to really appreciate and savor the flavors, as I could take my time and enjoy each sip. No longer was I drinking coffee in a hurry, just to stay awake!

Now? Well, the kids are grown, yet once again I find myself suffering from sleep deprivation! Unlike years ago though, when my kids were the reason, now it is mostly due to the aches and pains that come with age. When you throw in a recent hip replacement surgery and knee surgery, sleep is really rare.

But I don’t mind the sleepiness as much these days, and there are several reasons why.

~ I can nap whenever I want to
~ I don’t have to count on coffee to help me through the day – if it gives me a little “pick me up”, that’s great!
~ Unlike the “old” days, I no longer chug my coffee like beer at a frat party – instead, I savor it

It’s funny how my reasons for wanting coffee over the years have changed and have ultimately come full circle. Regardless of how it all started, my love of coffee continues, and just as life changes, so do my coffee habits.
