Coffee has seemingly taken the world by
storm. And I have become a coffee snob
of sorts, but that is not what I want to write about.
The coffee “break” demands our attention
today. I found this quote recently and
regret not capturing its source.
“We are
good at drinking espresso,
but lousy
at taking a coffee break.”
Don’t forget the “break” part. That is a part of life too. Remember, the heart pauses between the
beats. The weekend gives us a break from
the 5-day grind. And we need a sleep
break for a few hours every day.
We need the break. Call it ‘the pause that refreshes’ to borrow
from Coco Cola’s long ago slogan.
Taking that occasional “break” is how our
bodies are wired, and without the break our bodies can become unwired.
Think about that the next time you go for
coffee.
