It’s been a hard day, a challenging week, and a very difficult month. As I sat down to watch TV tonight, I thought of what food in the house I could have…”Hmm… the cookies are gone… no ice cream… it’s been a hard day! What treats are there? Maybe I could make something. Buttery cinnamon toast?” I decided that first on the list was a phone call to thank my sister for a package she sent. We had a nice chat, then I finally got to take a shower after a long day of holding and caring for sick kids. Ah. “OK. A treat… Hey!  Sherene sent me that berry smoothie and it’s probably cold!” Wow.  What a nice evening.  If I had started with some cinnamon toast or chocolate-foraging, I probably would have missed out on a nice chat, a satisfying shower and a delicious fruity drink.  It was amazingly good.  Berries in the middle of winter.  Just what my body wanted.  Yummy!
