appreciating the delicious

it's the tazo green tea in a bottle.

first time i ever had it, i had it
at the starbucks up the street.

i loved it so much i could barely
keep a conversation goin' with my
guy.

we were sitting there and i just kept
closing my eyes and tasting it.

it was a hot summer day, and it was
perfect.

i actually ended up hopping up and
getting a second one!

well......i had one yesterday with
a friend.
once again, i sat outside at the starbucks.

now.
i've had a bunch of them since the very
first one.
and my friend WAS telling some pretty
cool stories.

but still.

i barely noticed it.

i know i enjoyed it in a sense.
i didn't not like it.
and maybe if i really think about it,
i kinda noticed it.
maybe.

i keep thinking about that this morning.

about taking things for granted.

i do it every day in a thousand ways.

and i don't think that's so cool.

i actually brought the bottle home so i
could recycle it.

don't think i will.
think i'm gonna fill it with water and
drink water out of in my studio...

and use it to remind myself that it's all
too easy to let the delicious slip by....

and i don't don't don't want to miss
the delicious in life.

You have such a beautiful way with words, and with ideas of how to live real, I'm a fan!

the next time I drink something delicious that I really really like I'm going to keep the bottle. put it in my office in the windowsill maybe. and cut one daffodil at a time this spring and put them in it :)
thanks for gently nudging us both.
