Did you hear all the fuss about Starbucks dropping eggnog lattes from their seasonal menu? I am an eggnog latte lover, and look forward each year to the red cups, the November 1st launch, and the occasional trip into Starbucks just for that very drink.
I went in yesterday and discussed all the hoopla with the barista. She was quick to say it was never going to affect the Pacific Northwest, but what about all those other poor souls out there, without their eggnog lattes?
"It's just eggnog, people!" she said with disdain.
"Yes and no," I responded. Of course, it's "just" eggnog. But life can be stressful and challenging, and sometimes it's the "eggnog lattes" in our life that get us from Point A to Point B all in one piece.
Could I live without eggnog? Starbucks? Red cups? Absolutely. It is, after all, only eggnog.
But by the same token, there are plenty of days when adding that stop in is the best part of my day. A little love from Carrie to Carrie. A splurge, if you will. A few minutes, and dollars, as in investment in my over-all well-being.
Priceless.

A little love from Carrie to Carrie. LOVE THIS!
Love! Like I always say in my Eeyore way, "Sometimes it IS the small things that break us." By default that must mean it's the small things that make us.
