VEGGIE BURGER MOMENT

Yesterday was a scorcher, shade is what I opted for. Later though a relative asked me to accompany him to his storage unit. Bad mistake, he stopped at McDonald's to get two big macs and an iced mocha. The service was terrible. Not only did he have to wait a long time at the drive trough but when he got his order it was a mess. His Big Macs were drenched in special sauce and the staff messed up his coffee order, giving him a hot coffee in 90 degree weather when he specially ordered an iced mocha. When we pulled out of the drive thru I was surprised that he didn't complain to the manager but he didn't. Instead his frustrations caused him to drive over the speed limit for several miles causing me a near heart attack. Through a miracle I made it safely home but I was filled with anxiety so I got on my bicycle and heading to a trail.

That trail led me close to my favorite fast food restaurant "CULVER'S." Part of me knew I shouldn't splurge on a veggie burger but as a belated birthday present to myself, I broke down and got the veggie burger. Needless to say, I enjoyed every bite of that veggie burger. I was hoping to only eat half of it but when I sat down at a table to take a few bites, I just couldn't stop. CULVER'S is a Midwest fast food chain headquartered in Wisconsin. Their food isn't really healthy but for fast food it's the best choice. CULVER'S serves everything from grilled chicken sandwiches to salads to fish dinners, butter burgers, and flavorful frozen custards. They have French fries. onion rings, Wisconsin cheese curds, mashed potatoes, cole slaw.....but it's the VEGGIE BURGERS at CULVER'S that please my tastebuds.

If you ever find yourself filled with anxiety a little comfort food won't hurt. Considering that my bicycle ride to CULVER'S was five miles each way, a ten mile round trip bicycle ride when the temperature was now lingering at 80 degrees, I burned plenty of calories.

WHAT COMFORT FOOD DO YOU ENJOY EATING?

WHATEVER IT IS, ENJOY YOUR MINDFUL MOMENTS EATING WHAT BRINGS YOU JOY!

HAPPY SUMMER 2023!

Starbucks & Debbie

This afternoon I stopped into a Starbucks and asked for a sample of the new "Blond Roast." I was expecting just a tiny cup sample but instead the barista poured me a generous cup of the "Blond Roast"  and recommended trying it with a few drops of vanilla syrup which I did. What a beautiful moment it was to enter Starbucks wanting to try the new "Blond Roast" and given a generous sample with kindness and warmth by Debbie the barista. STARBUCKS and its customers are very fortunate to have such a shining star employee as Debbie who brightened my day by greeting me with a big smile and friendly "May I help you?" When I asked for a sample she rewarded me with something I just wasn't expecting.  How nice it is to know that every now and then someone can make all the difference in just a few moments. This was the case with the amazing STARBUCKS barista Debbie who deserves high praises for being so awesome. Thank You Starbucks and Thank You D...

The Cows

After attending a lovely morning Christmas service I decided to take a bicycle ride through the countryside. I was on my own and had nobody to spend Christmas with so I just kept paddling on the trail and enjoying the scenery and smell of the fragrant pine trees.  When  I stumbled across cows in the distance I was ecstatic because I love cows, so I turned my bike around and meandered to the pubic road that led to the farm. When I saw two cows in the meadow my face lighted up with joy. The cows saw me and ran to the fence to greet me. For several minutes they just stood there next to me and made me feel so loved and appreciated. I no longer felt alone on Christmas Day. In moments when we feel so alone how assuring it is to know that there are some living creatures to cheer us up. Those two sweet cows I spent time with on a warm Christmas afternoon were beautiful CHRISTMAS moments. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL LIVING CREATURES!

The Penny

Holding down three jobs and always multi-tasking it felt so good to sit down for a few moments in the backyard the other day. I dreamed of easier times when life was more "carefree." Suddenly I noticed a penny on the ground. It hadn't been there before and my inner voice told me to pick it up. I did and was mesmerized with the year engraved on the penny. That year I was blessed with the best carefree summer of my life and the memories flooded my mind of that sweet summer long ago. That penny gave me hope that my guardian angels knew my pain and distraught and assured me that "moments" of happy times will come again someday. "The penny" was my sign of hope that someday there will be carefree moments again. Believe in those little signs that come into your moments of everyday life.
