A friend mentioned a problem she was having to me recently and it had been on my mind for a day or so.
I noticed that whenever I was thinking about my friend’s problem, I also began thinking of another person that I knew that was from the same area as she.

I have my favorite kinds of coffee, and one of them was Green Mountain’s Spicy Eggnog, which was discontinued years ago. I still had 2 of the k-cups left that I saved for a special occasion (one of which I used last week when I was feeling sorry for myself and needed some cheering up).
Periodically I would look online to see if they might magically appear again but sadly, they have not. Keep reading
