This is the least of my problems but one that I has grabbed my focus lately....soggy cereal. I got my love of cereal before I was even old enough to say, "I'm Coocoo for Cocoa Puffs!! I have a few that are still my faves even though the sugar content is off the un-nutritional charts.
Cap'n Crunch with Crunch Berries...something about the dye in the crunch berries makes the cereal. Then, there's another favorite of mine, Reese Peanut Butter Puffs...but unfortunately, I can no longer enjoy their peanutty goodness thanks to my new tree nut allergies. Then there's Sugar Frosted Flakes...their GREATTTT!!!
But the biggest dilemma is I can't stand soggy cereal and cereal just ain't cereal unless you have some sort of dairy or wanna be dairy product.
The only way I can enjoy a good bowl of cereal is to pour the coconut milk (yep, now allergic to almond milk) into the cereal and try to eat it before the crunch disappears...which is usually 39.2 seconds. (I counted).
Why does it seem like the crunch lasted so much longer when I was a kid?
And what does soggy cereal have to do with life?
My longtime blog friend, Jenny Matlock left a comment on my last blog post. She said,
Write what you feel.
Write knock knock jokes.
Write nothing.
Just don't curl inside yourself because you have so much to offer the world it would be a shame if your voice went totally silent.

Thanks my friend for the reminder that the blog world would be a much more quieter place if I chose not to write.
Last year, I was asked about my love for writing and my reply was, "I write like I breathe. If I couldn't write, I would probably cease to exist." What a melodramatic answer but one that honestly speaks from the depths of who I am.
I am not finished with writing.
Thankfully, writing for me is better than rushing to eat my cereal before the crunch disappears.
i can take my time, and enjoy every morsel of creativity as it comes (if it comes).
Thank you all for hanging in there with me...through the good, the bad and the sometimes, soggy. You all remind me that that's why I love to write!!
Looking forward to visiting you all!
Now, I'm off to have a bowl of cereal.
