Recipe for a relaxing afternoon break

1.Brew a little bit of good, strong coffee (decaf if caffeine late in the day bothers you at night).
2. Pour a largish squirt (sorry, no exact measurements here!) of Trader Joe's Midnight Moo organic chocolate flavored syrup in the bottom of a big mug, followed by a dash of organic heavy whipping cream.
3. Pour in fresh, hot coffee, and top with a squirt of whipped cream (from one of those cannisters) and a dash of Ghirardelli's ground sweet cocoa.
4. Take drink to easy chair, put up feet, turn on Van Morrison's Avalon Sunset and sip drink slowly while listening to Van Morrison and Cliff Richards sing these words:

Whenever God shines his light on me
Opens up my eyes so I can see
When I look up in the darkest night
I know everything’s going to be alright
In deep confusion, in great despair
When I reach out for him he is there
When I am lonely as I can be
I know that God shines his light on me

Reach out for him, he’ll be there
With him your troubles you can share
If you live the life you love
You get the blessing from above
He heals the sick and heals the lame
Says you can do it too in Jesus' name

He’ll lift you up and turn you around
And put your feet back on higher ground

Reach out for him, he’ll be there
With him your troubles you can share
You can use his higher power
In every day and any hour
He heals the sick and heals the lame
Says you can do it too in Jesus' name

He’ll lift you up and turn you around
And put your feet back on higher ground.

5. Hum along sporadically, between sips of warming drink. Best done with eyes closed.
6. On a really hard day, it might be necessary to repeat the entire process.
