Moonlight

I watch the moonlight stream through the window. The gentle glow caresses the ivory keys of an old piano. I wonder, what if the rays could become fingers? Would they gently lull a melody out of the instrument? If so, what would it play? A melancholy lullaby or a sweet whisper of yesteryear? I close my eyes and listen. The night sings its song...and it is luring me to sing along.

Crunchy vs. Creamy

There is nothing quite as amazing as opening a brand new jaw of creamy peanut butter and taking out that first spoonful of creamy goodness....The smooth creamy peanut butter as it takes your taste buds on a sweet and salty adventure of awesomeness.... Alas...today is not to be that day... Why you may ask? Because, when I went to open my jar of peanut butter I discovered, not my usual creamy awesomeness, oh no,  but CRUNCHY peanut butter!!! THE HORROR!!!!!! (cue psycho music here) Disappointment abounded as my excitement turned into devastation!!! What was I to do? I had only the one jar of icky crunchy peanut butter, and no creamy peanut butter in sight...at first it was anger at myself for not checking the label more carefully as I grabbed the jar from the shelf, then it went to disappointment knowing I would not experience the creamy goodness I had been craving, then sorrow as I slowly spread the crunchy ickyness (there's the word for the day) on my sandwich. Here's t...

Life's Chapters

Image
Life, like every great story, must move forward. Chapters must end, and new chapters must begin. No matter how great the last chapter was, in order for the story to continue, it must come to an end. Not all chapters will be as thrilling or happy as the one you find yourself in, but every chapter is necessary to the story as a whole. If we cling to past chapters new ones will never unfold, and who knows? Maybe this new chapter will be even better than the last one. Some chapters will contain dragons and storms while others bring good times with friends. It may be tempting to skip the chapters that seem too mundane to matter or too much to possibly bare, but oftentimes it is in those chapters where we find pieces of ourselves that we need in order to experience the great chapters to their full extent. Change is never easy. You would think with as commonplace as it is that we would grow accustomed to it, and yet it is always hard to move away from what is familiar. When the page is t...

National Coffee Day

This morning I awoke to discover (thanks to all the social media outlets) that today is in fact National Coffee Day.  I love coffee! Alas, because of being sick I'm not allowed to have coffee for another week.... D'oh! So make sure all of you drink a cup of coffee for me today!!! Here is what I want to know.  Who decides on these "national" holidays? Did someone wake up one day and just decide that today was a great day for coffee? Why can't every day be a coffee day? Do we have an actual "national holiday declaring committee"? How does this work? If any of you know share in the comments below.  I am very curious. So how does one celebrate this National Coffee Day? Is it only by drinking coffee which most of us already do on a daily basis anyway? Are there presents maybe gifting coffee to others? Songs about this delicious, aromatic, caffeinated beverage? Traditions that help us understand how this heavenly drink came to be? How long have we even...
