Recently, I've pondered the difference between those living the single life and those living the family life. One of the things I've realized is that once you are married with a family, you mark time differently.
For example, my incredibily beautiful godson just turned 1. 1! What a great milestone! But for the last year, his mom and dad have measured time in rolling, teething, sitting up, the addition of foods, standing, and walking. Similarly, my newly married friends have marked all things from the date of their wedding. "Six months before we got married, it was Christmas!" Neither of these things are bad, though, I will admit to feeling a touch of envy at this alternative calendar.
Therefore, I am determined to make my own calendar for the next six months. This next three months will revolve around the joyous return of the Pumpkin Spice Latte. I was so excited that I splurged and had a triple venti fully-fattening Pumpkin Spice Latte this week. It was heavenly. Ahh...time is good. And, at this point, it's only three more months until the Maple Machiatto, and after that, it's Peppermint Mocha time. Life can pass quickly when one measures the calendar with Starbucks!
So, for all those who have no milestones to measure the passing of days, I invite you to tick of the months by embracing your favorite blend.
