Woke up this morning with an awful chest cold and all I wanted was to pull the covers back over my head. However, to my amazement, I could hear my teenagers already up and at it. How could I hide from a glorious Saturday and miss out on time with them; I decided this cold was not going to ruin my day. Thankfully, I remembered my loyal friend was waiting less than 75 feet away – as I approached my Keurig, I stopped to thank my friend Lesa for introducing us last Christmas. My Keurig and I have always had a positive relationship – whenever, I am sick, tired, or grouchy – my Keurig faithfully makes my favorite coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. I never knew a relationship could be this good; I can only hope that others can be as fortunate.

I have to spend the day reading about ethics for my doctorate course and writing a research paper. If only my professor knew that if every person could wake up to a hot beverage from their Keurig, they might enter the world a little happier and slightly more ethical …. Hey, a girl can dream, can’t she? Before I immerse myself in my ethics books, I will share my last home remedy of the day. My days are always better when I start them off with my hot beverage and some Rob Thomas. His and also Matchbox Twenty’s music always gives me hope and just listening to Little Wonders this morning helped me to see how something as simple as my Keurig and my beautiful children’s’ faces can make even a crummy day seem even brighter. Happy Saturday!

Little Wonders by Rob Thomas

Let it go,
Let it roll right off your shoulder
Don’t you know
The hardest part is over
Let it in,
Let your clarity define you
In the end
We will only just remember how it feels

Our lives are made
In these small hours
These little wonders,
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away,
But these small hours,
These small hours still remain

Let it slide,
Let your troubles fall behind you
Let it shine
Until you feel it all around you
And i don’t mind
If it’s me you need to turn to
We’ll get by,
It’s the heart that really matters in the end

Our lives are made
In these small hours
These little wonders,
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away,
But these small hours,
These small hours still remain

All of my regret
Will wash away some how
But i can not forget
The way i feel right now

In these small hours
These little wonders
These twists & turns of fate
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away but these small hours
These small hours, still remain,
Still remain
These little wonders
These twists & turns of fate
Time falls away
But these small hours
These little wonders still remain
