I have had some less-than-ideal days lately because of concerns over health issues of a loved one, exacerbated by sleepless nights. On a couple of these days I have stopped for coffee to help me get going in the morning. I'm not a total stranger to coffee, but I never cared that much for the taste and it generally made me feel jittery. But on these occasions there was a dramatic improvement in my mood fifteen or twenty minutes after drinking the coffee. In fact, I went from feeling miserable to feeling like I was on top of the world.

One day last week I reported to (TBM) Mrs. Hagoth that I left the house feeling pretty dismal but after I stopped for coffee I felt like I had taken a happy-reassurance-feel good pill. Her response: "I'm so glad!"

My wife has a clear weakness for coffee, especially with lots of milk, sugar, and chocolate. I definitely feel better after drinking coffee, but am trying to use it judiciously so I don't get addicted. I've noticed that when I drink it regularly I get REALLY grumpy without it.

Ah, the Devil's Dark Elixir. It's been a real blessing to me. I don't notice any discernible boost in energy, but it does help my mood and lessens the effects of depression. That combined with all the other health benefits have made me a Java believer.
