It is better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all.



Today was the official release of my all time favorite drink the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte! I wait all year for this joyful drink which is only offered through the fall promotional season. Naturally, I made the trip to get myself a cup of deliciousness. It was a beautiful fall day, 60 degrees, the sun was shining birds chirping, puppies frolicking through the grass. I was thinking about how happy I was for the first frost and then end to my allergies. And then, something horrible happened. I had only taken a few wonderful sips of deliciousness before it happened. My mentally handicapped dog Miley darted off, pulling hard on her leash and my cup of happiness went flying out of my hands, through the air in slow motion right before my eyes. Before I could stop any of it from happening my wonderful Pumpkin Spice Latte was spilled all over the sidewalk. For a few seconds after it happened I tried to quickly think of a way that I could scoop up all of the liquid up back into the cup so I could go on enjoying it's sweet heavenly taste, until reality hit and I realized that it was all over. I stood there trying to remember those few sips I had enjoyed before it was suddenly ripped away from me. It really was good while it lasted.
