When the end of the year celebration arrives, several rituals are usually performed, among them the evaluation of whether the goals or resolutions that had been set in the previous year were achieved or fulfilled, and if not, to evaluate the reasons for this.
At the same time, the resolutions or goals that were not achieved can be taken up again or some new ones can be proposed, such as giving up some vices or bad habits like procrastinating or smoking, getting a new university degree, a better job, traveling or things like that, the truth is that I am not one to do this kind of things, at least not in a conscious or orderly way.
For example, last year I had already in mind to change my bed and mattress. I managed at least to change the mattress, which was the one that urgently needed a change. I still have to change my bed and upholster the furniture, which is what I have between my eyebrows, for next year and I know that if I get organized I will achieve it.
But never, never has it ever crossed my mind to make a resolution about coffee, the most radical of which would be to stop drinking it, something that I don't think will happen, (first dead), but if I had to choose for some reason, without a doubt I would continue drinking coffee, because we are all going to die sooner or later and I believe that we have to give or allow ourselves some tastes and pleasures, obviously with measure and responsibility, it is not about living a crazy life either.
As I write these lines I remember how and when I started drinking coffee and I never thought that I would become a lover of this beverage, as my beloved grandmother was, but now every time I drink coffee I remember her in a very affectionate way and it is pleasant to know that before she passed away we were able to share more than one cup of coffee.
Now, as I have already stated in other publications, I have tried to drink a little less coffee, especially after certain hours, but living with a couple of coffee addicts like my son and my husband is complicated, but at least now they ask me after four in the afternoon if I want to drink coffee and how much.
But without a doubt as long as I have life I will drink coffee and in my huge or better said huge cups every morning and in the afternoons a little less, it is so pleasant for me when I am at home and I share a cup of coffee with my husband and/or son in the mornings while we have a pleasant conversation, the same happens when I drink it at the office while I drink my coffee and converse with a colleague.
Coffee is undoubtedly a social beverage that is present even in business meetings, it is the perfect excuse to sit and talk with someone and also to go to meet a new coffee, because around it there are a thousand coffee shops, flavors and preparations, so we must continue drinking coffee in 2025 and in every year to come.
Thus ends my participation in STB #85.
