I can actually get out of bed energetically on Thursday
mornings (when I say “energetically,” I mean I can open my eyes with slightly
more ease). Part of it may be because it’s the last day of work for the week,
but the majority of it is because of what’s waiting on my porch. At 5:15 I rush
down the stairs, let Dasha out to do her business, then throw open my front
door. There, on my doorstep, sits that little white box that I know is full of
wonderful, wonderful things. I throw open the lid, and though they’ve never
missed a day, I am always pleased to see that there is indeed something inside.
Oh, Royal Crest Dairy,
how you remind me so of Santa Clause. On Wednesday night I write to you my wish
list, and just before bed I place my wish list in a spot where you can find it.
Then the next morning, you magically bring me delicious all natural milk,
butter, and eggs… and when I really get carried away with my wish list, you
leave me with rich chocolate milk and decadent cookie dough. I open your little
box lid as if it’s a special gift, and arranging my fresh dairy products in my
refrigerator is my favorite Thursday morning task. In fact, I won’t lie; I
often open up the refrigerator door a few times afterwards just to look at the
new items inside. Leaving for work I feel rest assured that my dairy needs are
met for the week, and excitedly I think about the next wish list I get to write
to you.
Maybe I’m exaggerating my Royal Crest Dairy obsession just a
tad bit, but it honestly made me think about all the little things in a day
that keep me going. Some are pretty ridiculous, like Royal Crest Dairy or
writing up a to-do list. But it’s
good to notice the little ridiculous things in our days that keep us going.
What about you? What
little things (ridiculous or not) are part of your days that you look forward
to, that give you that little extra kick?
