The organic/natural food store that has been next door to my primary coffee shop is moving. Today is the last day at the old location conveniently located next to my coffee shop. It is the end of an era for me.

For years, I could go to the organic/natural store and buy something for lunch from the deli and conveniently come to my coffee shop to eat my lunch and hang out to do blogging or writing while enjoying coffee. Now it is just my coffee shop sitting lonely and missing its friend as of tomorrow. My personal universe feels like it is blowing apart.
A sense of nostalgia is coming over me as I sit in my coffee shop eating food from the store next door. Memories of one of my favorite soups, Mulligatawny, nachos, Fiesta Lime Chicken etc are dancing in my mind. The store’s new location will be a ten minute drive from my coffee shop located next to a different coffee shop. What is a boy to do?
Perhaps I am a creature of habit, but please understand that I wrote most of my book Jesus Understands Trauma while sitting in my favorite coffee shop and enjoying lunch from the store’s deli. If you have received a comment from me on one of your blog posts, it is likely I did so while sitting in my coffee shop enjoying lunch from the store’s deli.
It is the end of an era today, but I will adjust, begrudgingly, to a new normal. I may be kicking and screaming, or perhaps crying, along the way, but adjust I must.
How is your Saturday?
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
