A friendly greeting dear hivers. Today I want to share with you a rather peculiar and also very real experience that happened to me a few days ago. It turns out that, for various reasons that in recent months have overwhelmed me, I found myself in the middle of a terrible night of insomnia and stress that prevented me from falling asleep. As much as I tried to close my eyes and relax, my mind was completely racing and I couldn't find the calm I needed to rest.
After tossing and turning in bed for what seemed like endless hours, I finally decided to surrender to the evidence: I was not going to be able to sleep. That's when a rather unusual idea crossed my mind: why not make myself a cup of coffee to see if that would help calm my mind and relax my body?
So without a second thought, I got out of bed and headed for the kitchen. As I turned on the coffee pot and listened to the comforting sound of coffee droplets falling onto the filter, I began to feel a strange sense of relief. As if the simple act of brewing a cup of coffee was having a calming effect on my mood. I have always thought that coffee has a mystical and ritualistic background, at least for me. Its preparation process involves active meditation.
And then came the most magical moment of all: the aroma of freshly brewed coffee began to invade the kitchen and gradually spread throughout the house. I felt as if that delicious smell flooded me with a sense of warmth and well-being that I needed. All this I had to do in total silence because my dear @jetta.amaya was resting and I didn't want to wake her up.
As I waited patiently for the coffee maker to finish its work, I sat at the kitchen counter and let myself be carried away by that moment of tranquility and inner peace that my cup of coffee was giving me. I could feel how my muscles relaxed, how my mind stopped spinning senselessly and how I finally managed to find some relief in the midst of so much stress and anxiety.
And when it was finally time to savor my coffee, I couldn't help but smile. That steaming, comforting cup became my lifeline in the midst of that hectic and complicated night. Each sip was like a balm for my soul, like a caress for my senses, like a warm embrace in the midst of darkness. Although I know that coffee is associated with taking away sleep, the truth is that for me, a good cup of coffee can be given on any occasion.
So if you ever find yourself in a situation similar to mine, don't hesitate to turn to the healing and comforting power of a good cup of coffee and the ritual magic of preparing it lovingly. I assure you that you will not regret it. And always remember that sometimes the simplest solutions are the ones that can really make a difference in our lives.
Until next time, dear readers! May coffee and calm be with you always.
