I've all but given up regular coffee, and am now finding that Iced Green Tea isn't as bad as it seemed to be last summer. I haven't gone crazy eliminating caffeine from my life but I am much more conscious of it nowadays. I don't notice much difference in how I feel, but I'm sure it's a good thing.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
