The Sprinkles In Our Lives

Happy Sunday. The neighborhood is stirring early, doing things, getting things done before the oppressive heat of the day starts. When it is 105 for almost each day of the month, people get distracted, tempers short and not much gets done.

Last evening, we had to go out into the heat. Larry needed a clock radio for his bedside table. As a bribe, he promised that we would stop and get donuts for dessert( How could I miss that?) Always good to his word, we went to Krispy Kream...and went inside to get our dessert. Secret: Whenever I go inside at Krispy Kream, I feel like a child again. Watching the donuts being made, dozens of flavors to pick from and the smell of sugar in the air.

We brought the donuts home, and ate them (i had 2) in bed as we watched Zab Judah lose a very important boxing march. Donuts in bed, while watching TV. Life is wonderful.

Each Sunday our church gathers food for the food pantry. With Each month a different theme. August being veggie month. One Sunday a month we take something with us to church. Today being green beans and corn. (a case of each)

It is so easy to buy a dozen donuts for ourselves, but forget the people who are struggling with the economy right now. Even families who have working members, cannot buy what they were buying a year ago. Extra foods being one of the first things to vanish from the shopping lists.

I have always loved donuts with sprinkles. It is fun to think that we are the donuts, and the sprinkles are the wonderful , colorful people in our lives.

Thank you for being a colorful sprinkle in my life....never discount what a bit of brightness brings to someone whom you adore. You never know when someone needs a smile.

Stay cool. Love you. Me.
