I have a fancy coffee maker, its an Nespresso machine and I love it. The coffee is in little metal pods. The machine squeezes out the coffee or espresso with such pressure that a delicious crema is formed on the surface of the coffee, its delicious! The Nespresso pods, once used are mailed at Nespresso's expense via UPS to recycle. The used coffee is made into compost, the metal pod is recycled, its a lovely product all the way... The closest UPS drop off is located in a shopping center next door to a Hallmark greeting card store. Here is where my story starts... I was running errands ..knocking the to do's off my list and there in the Hallmark store window was all the Mothers day decor. Gifts and reminders.... joyuous.. brightly colored extravaganza that we celabrate Mothers Day ... silently on the inside I fell apart. I dropped my recycle coffee pods off and called it a day. Living with the dead is something many of us do. I am fighting my way back to my new normal, My happy. Today was a good day I went to a large shopping center called the Galleria. The Galleria is filled with treasures and lined with beautiful windows decorated in interesting and fun ways. I didn't stay long, but my time there was fun. Sometimes even if we don't get to stay long it can be meaningful, fun and memorable. Life seems to be made up of little moments .... Strung together .... Like shop windows in a way, always changing. My mental shop window is currently under construction and the caution tape is drapped around everywhere. Hopefully the caution tape can be peeled away soon...
