Feel happy about your creamer

Spirit can walk, spirit can swim, spirit can climb, spirit can climb. There is no terrain you cannot overcome. -Irisa Hail

My Amy McCracken Angel (AMA) has struck again. In my email inbox this morning, I found this from her:

The funniest thing happened to me at the grocery store last night. I went to pick a carton of half and half off the shelf and stamped right on it was "May 3".

And I stood there, arm outreached, and thought, "May 3. May 3. May 3. What do I have going on on May 3? Something important. Oh! I know! I'll be on my couch in Richmond cheering for a bunch of people in Cincinnati!! Right! May 3!!"

And then I felt really happy about my creamer. And I felt happy about it again this morning. Every morning from now until it is gone I will pour a little bit in my coffee and say out loud "Go Patti!" as I do it.

I wonder whose Amy you could be today?

Hahahahahahahha!!! You used my release form!! I just got so sick of NUMBERS that I went to 37 days for some relief and there I was! Without any warning. My out of town guests are going to think I am so weird tomorrow morning when I am pouring creamer in each of their cups and shouting “GO PATTI!” None of them are named Patti.
