Kirkland Signature Decaf, roasted by Starbucks and brewed through a $9 coffee maker with a (gasp) paper filter. No milk, no cream, no sugar, no artificial sweetener.

Maybe SLC and I should open a coffee shop.

I rotate between Barney's offerings. Eithopian, Columbian, Puerto Rican, Java, and such. I grind my own every morning and make it fairly strong. My wife dilutes it in half for her cup. And yes there is sugar, not alot, just enough to take the edge out of it. Although I do like a coffee with a bit of bite. Sorry Folgers you are just too tame!

Colombian Cup of Excellence 1st place winner from "La Isla" farm. Caramel, slight honey, some floral notes. Ms. Yasso, the grower of this coffee, is the first female farmer to take first place in this coffee competition. Easy to see why. Enjoy your Sunday, folks.

Indulgence

One of the best ways to become disciplined is to indulge yourself on a regular basis. At first that might sound contradictory. When you think about it, though, indulgence can be a key tool in developing and maintaining discipline.
Discipline always requires denial. For example, if you want to discipline yourself to lose weight, you must deny yourself fattening foods. When you discipline yourself to work hard toward achieving goals you've set for yourself, you deny yourself some of the "fun" activities of life.

We're only human, though, and we need incentives along the way. One powerful incentive is to keep yourself focused on your goals, on the objects of your discipline. Another good way is to schedule a regular indulgence. It's better if your indulgence is something you do regularly -- every day, every week. It is important to be able to look forward to it. And when the time comes, enjoy it. Savor every minute without the least bit of guilt. Take time for yourself and reward yourself for your hard work and discipline. And remember that you'll get the opportunity again and there's no need to "binge." (I use "binge" here in a generic sense, not just as it applies to food.)

One powerful way to take this concept to a higher level is to develop indulgences that actually enhance your discipline. A good example of this is physical exercise. If you can find an exercise that it also a true indulgence, then you can discipline and indulge at the same time. That is a powerful combination.

Try a little indulgence -- you deserve it and it will help to keep you on track.
