Life's Wonders
Eating yummy foods is one of my passions in life. Do I feel a little awful because I sometimes fail at balancing enjoying the yummy food and knowing when enough is enough? Occasionally. But not today.
Today a little thing like a gulp of orange juice made me so happy, it was something I just had to write about.
Today a little thing like a gulp of orange juice made me so happy, it was something I just had to write about.
I poured the orange juice, Tropicana, into one of my favorite drinking glasses, a wine glass. I don’t really love wine, but the glasses are so beautiful that I just drink everything else out them. It makes me happy. I got this set from the dollar store. They really have nice things sometimes. You just gotta go to the big ones.
Anyway, the orange juice looked so nice in that clean clear glass, I felt so grown up bringing it to the couch with me. I sipped a little here, it was so crisp and refreshing in my mouth, like someone in the kitchen juiced some oranges for me and put it right in my special wine glass. Of course they had to strain out the pulp, the pulp makes me sad. I sipped a little more there, feeling so responsible for vitamin C intake. I picked up the glass a little later and noticed that I only had a little less than one sip left. I held up the glass of the pretty yellow-orange orange juice and had a good look at it. I licked my lips in anticipation, and slowly poured the last bit into my mouth. I held it there for a few moments, swishing it around very gently, tasting every morsel of flavor on every single taste bud. I was in heaven. Then I swallowed. And sighed. Experiences can sometimes be made even better if you go ahead and just sigh.
It was a perfect moment. I was not able to go overboard and have another glass because I drank the last of it this morning. So the moment was even more perfect because I was not allowed to overindulge.
Life is greatest for me when I realize that happy moments are everywhere, in everything, even in a small wine glass of Tropicana orange juice.
