 I've been staring at this for quite some time now, and I still don't know how to write this. The cursor blinks at me, and I blink back. What's in my head is a jumble of thoughts, unable to form into anything coherent. They say some things are better left unsaid, but I admit I've handwritten everything down so I could capture how I've been feeling the last two weeks. It has been a blur, both good and bad, happy and sad. And I will tell you, like people who refer back to books and famous quotations to relate, my brain referred back to two particular entries by one my favorite bloggers (and someone I'd like to meet one day!). So, I think these two things reflect my jumbled thoughts. If anything, I've learned that, being there for someone really is important. Even if you have nothing to say. And I also learned that I really am an optimist, in the end. For whatever reason, I have a habit of turning someone's views into something hopeful, just like how I try to find humor in unwanted situations. I think it all goes back to wanting everyone around me to be happy. Not necessarily overall, but at least in the moment. Because we live moment to moment, and how we feel in one determines how we feel in the next. It's like an album and how the arrangement of songs determines how you'll feel about one track as it leads into the next. Anyway, I thought I'd share a very simple cookie recipe I picked up in college because whenever I made them, they made my roommates and friends smile a little more (apologies if you're allergic!): Simple Peanut Butter Cookies 1 cup sugar 1 cup peanut butter 1 egg Reese's Pieces or chocolate chips (optional) Preheat oven to 375°F. Mix everything together in a bowl (add the Reese's or chips last). Use a regular spoon to scoop and roll the dough into whatever sized balls you'd like. Place on a baking sheet. Use a fork to flatten each ball (I do a criss-cross pattern). Bake at 375°F for about 10 minutes (depending on your oven, it could be less). For me, I like to add a generous cup of Reese's Pieces. And yes, this is essentially eating peanut butter and sugar. Which is awesome. |
