DAY 3: NO COFFEE

Can I give up coffee?  Yes.  I know I can.  I gave up Pepsi, Coca Cola, Dr. Pepper at 42 years of age and I'm now 65.  23 years ago.  WOWZER.  All except 7-up during illnesses and occasional Root Beer.  Back to drinking H2O...water.  Spring water.  I believe the day has come to adjust to no coffee except on occasional occasions.  grins.  I can do this thing.


TODAY IS THE BEGINNING OF 3 DAYS WITHOUT COFFEE.  SO far so good.  NO HUGE CRAVINGS for this liquid gold.  Which amazes me.  No craving.  No extreme headache.  No desire.  Fantastic.


I had the understanding that drinking coffee helps with lowering ones blood sugar level.  Soooo I freely drank it.  Daily.  Almost all day long throughout the day.  No questions asked.  Simply accepted this as truth.


A good thing gone sour.  My Blood sugar level has been on a higher side of things for years.  This SUMMER I've been checking my levels in the morning and it was higher than in the comfortable zone.  Monitoring it.  TOO HIGH.  Decided to go off coffee.  Will do this for a month or so and see if there is a better outcome from having no coffee.  


I did this one other time about a year and a half ago and my blood pressure went down.  Will see if this helps the sugar levels.

This is interesting to me as I seem to not fall into a text book category of what is considered the norm or withdrawal.  Perhaps the Lord is making this easy for me.    

Dear Lord, I love you.                                          

Show me the way in which I am to go,
