This morning, as I was in the process of waking up and starting my day (which usually takes me quite a while, as I'm not a morning person), I found myself musing. You shouldn't be surprised, I do this a lot. But what gets me is that I muse about different things all the time, and today was no exception.
And no, it's not what you're thinking. I wasn't musing about anything earth-shattering or life-changing. That's way too serious, especially in the morning. Care to take a stab at what it was that was on my mind? Oh forget it, I'll just tell you.
Breakfast.
Most days, I never think twice about it, just grab some food and go. This could be because I'm so incoherent in the morning, that I my brain just doesn't start working until after I've had something to eat.
Anyway, today I had a craving for Cheerio's and bananas. Now, I don't know what it is about the combination of plain cereal and fruit, but it is, to say the least. incredible. There's nothing quite like it.
And I'm not talking about the cereals that try to cash in on this astounding combination by throwing in freeze-dried "strawberries." Like I'm supposed to believe that those little red crunchy things that flake off are supposed to be real fruit. Uh huh.
No, I'm talking about the real thing. I took a banana, which presumably came from a tree, that had peeling and all, and sliced it up. And then I put it in my cereal, poured the milk, and entered heaven. It was that good. For that short period of time that was my breakfast, I achieved bliss. It is an excellent way to start off the day.
And now, as I look back on what I've written, I'm not sure that it was such a muse. I guess it just seemed like it at the time. Oh well, I guess I can't win.
It was still great though. There's no denying that.
