Pumpkin Spice Latte Alternative

I was extremely enthusiastic about Pumpkin Spice Latte when I first heard of it years ago. However, one sip killed that. I do not like sugary hot drinks. I usually drink coffee black, sometimes with just a little hot milk. I have my tea without any lemon, sugar or milk. Also, a latte is too much milk, not enough coffee for me.

As I have been trying to adopt healthier habits, I am becoming a bit more creative.

Nowadays, I am trying the Intermittent Fasting because, it does sound logical to me. When I was younger and when I did not have any weight problems, I never had breakfast. I almost always started my day at lunch time and be done with eating by dinner time. Back then, I was not a fan of desserts either. So, going back to a similar life style made sense to me.

I am eating between 12 noon and 8 p.m. now. I eat two meals a day and I do not snack most of the time. However, I need coffee in the morning. As I am typing this I am sipping my pumpkin spice black coffee. I have mixed ground cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger and I am adding a half teaspoonful of this mixture to my coffee. My coffee smells amazing bringing me the memories of beautiful New England falls I have experienced and it is healthy. Today there is a nice cool breeze which is another reminder of Fall and I love the sensation. I know there will be a few more hot days but, the weather is definitely turning.

Just a small thing but, it made me happy during these hard times my entire country is going through. I think, if we forget finding small joys in life, it will become unbearable.

I keep listening to dance songs all day and feel pretty uplifted.
