I’m getting older, and this fact is thrown in my face every time I ‘forget’. I love my coffee…LOVE it. I look forward to it every day, and every once in a while, I spoil myself a bit with something delicious from Starbucks. So, a couple weeks ago, I decided to head for the drive-through window and order one of my favorite treats. I had a busy day ahead, and it was going to be the perfect way to start. I paid for my coffee and drove away to enjoy my day. I ran a few errands, and headed to my mom’s to help bake some pies for Thanksgiving. Later that evening, I picked up my girls, and we started the drive home. On the way, something struck me; I couldn’t remember enjoying that warm cup of deliciousness earlier. Yes, I had paid for it…but that was all.
How does that happen? How is it that, despite my excitement for a cup of coffee, I gave a Starbuck’s employee $5…then promptly drove away without anything to show for it? And how is it that it took me several hours to come to that realization? Surely, I should have heard the laughter of the Starbuck’s staff from miles away, but no. Maybe my hearing is going, too.
