Coffee and a Cookie

I dunno what it is... But today I have been feeling down.

Maybe it's the weather or atmosphere .. Maybe the stars aren't aligned perfectly for me today.. I dunno.

I chalk it up to "life" and know I can't feel "great and joyful" every moment.

So I made a cup of coffee and grabbed a couple Oreo's from the package that my wife hides from me ... LOL.

Ok..
I'm feeling better!

I'm a strong believer that it is the little things in life that make us happy. Coffee and cookies sounds delicious!

So true, life is always going to have its ups and downs, good and bad days. Just need to find healthier ways to cope and get through it, like cookies!

I love it...I was in the same kind of mood yesterday evening...had a great weekend and probably worked myself too hard....feeling a little down as my wife drank her post dinner wine...I sat there for a few minutes and said the heck with it....jumped in the truck and ran to the DQ and got a blizzard...put a smile on my face....Way to go Rider...treating ourselves on occasion is a much needed thing. Heres to the little things! D

Glad you grabbed that cookie and coffee
for a quick pick me up.

I learned that just because I dont drink
alcohol anymore and learning new healthy
ways to enjoy living life alcohol free, I can
still laugh, have fun, crack jokes and enjoy
all those little things life offers to us.

That we shouldnt be a bunch of glum lots.

You enjoy those cookies and remember
everything in moderation and balance
for a healthier, happier you in recovery.
