Rainy Morning

The sound of rainfall. The smell of the pages from a book in my hands. The soft cooing of a dove in a nearby tree. There is a peace that so often accompanies the falling rain. It is a day for pondering, remembering, creating, smiling, wishing, and just being. There is something about the rain that is just good for the soul.

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...

Tis The Season....For An Adventure Of Epic Proportions

Alright everyone this post is going to be a long one, but I encourage you to read through to the end. Consider this making up for the long spans f nothing when I fail at updating. Here goes... So recently I have been seeing so many of my friends making healthier choices in their lives, and I am so excited for them! Keep it up guys! They are the inspiration for this small glimpse into my own journey. I decided January 1, 2014 to give up all processed sugars from my diet for a month. This wasn't sparked by anything I did or realized. A bunch of people I work with approached me about it saying they were all going in together to try it for the month of January.  I figured okay why not it's just one month. Looking back I see myself a lot like Frodo who had been told he only had to get the ring to Bree, and then he could return to his life in the Shire as though nothing had happened. I didn't realize it then, but there was no way the life I had before would ever return to wh...

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...
