Can you guess what am I missing?
Coffee..... I miss my morning coffee. I stopped drinking coffee a month ago, and most of the days I don't even think about it. Today, for some reason, I couldn't stop... so I painted it in my journal.
I stopped because I was adding more and more of the fake creamer things (Belgian Chocolate Toffee was a favorite).... and then I read the ingredient list and was horrified. Definitely not something that I would like to consume every day. So I stopped drinking coffee altogether. All or nothing... sigh....
How about you? Do you drink coffee?
Love this! And yes, I have to have coffee in the morning, I drink it black, nog sugar, no milk and a little strong. I use coffee pads (mocca). Do you have coffee pads in the US too?
ReplyDeleteI drink WAY too much of the stuff! What differences have you noticed in how you feel?
ReplyDeleteI like creamer too......and don't know what's in it? Maybe I don't want to but I should. May have to google!
Beautiful painting!! Love the colors!
My coffee in the morning is like a glass of wine to other people at night. I only drink it in the morning, and I grind it (Peets coffee--the best!) fresh. I completely enjoy it--I don't think I could give it up!!
ReplyDeleteAmazingly Diane and I have exactly the same routine - fresh ground Peets beans, a couple of cups early in the morning and that's it.
ReplyDeleteBlack Coffee. Ever hear that song sung by Sarah Vaughn? Old jazz/blues.

Love your painting and love the idea to express missing your coffe that was :) I'm only getting used to journal my life like this :)
ReplyDeleteI'm drinking coffe as a ritual at the morning, after comming to work. I'm always drinking white coffe, what meens a loooot of low-fat milk with some coffe to color it :) and yes.. with sugar :) but I do like it and would miss it if I would stopped drinking it.
oh yes, i drink my coffee.....grind my beans that i get from our local coffee shop that roasts them right there....yum, yum.....i use coffemate in mine..and yes, there are nasty ingredients in the coffeemate.. ;-)
ReplyDeletelove your art this morning, zorana..
How about drinking coffee with milk? I know the creamers have lots of sugar. You could try Truvia-a natural sugar but with few calories. I treat myself to the fancy creamers about once a week--they do taste good. But you don't have to give up coffee, just because of the creamer. I love your new painting.
ReplyDeleteone thing I could never give up is my coffee. I now buy some organic beans from a local shop, and only put milk in it. For years I used sugar and creme, before cutting both out. The coffee sweetener has crap in it, definitely avoid.
ReplyDeleteYou'd be surprised how delicious a cup of coffee is once you cut out all the sugary fake creamers.
You got a lovely journal page out of it though, lol!
No coffee or fake creamers for me. If I have something it will be a cup of "fake" coffee (grain beverage) with half and half. I don't do it often but once in awhile it tastes great. Those fake creamers are made with horrible junk!
ReplyDeleteNO coffee for me..and for 2 weeks no soda or tea either.
ReplyDeleteI stopped adding anything to my coffee long time ago, for that same reason. But I only like to drink it in the winter, so it's only decaf with milk for me. I don't drink sodas either, rarely. Just don't plan to give up chocolate! ;o)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting!
