Apparently I’m bored on this road trip! We stopped at a turnpike Starbucks and I got my usual Grande Iced Starbucks Doubleshot, breve, with energy. I needed the caffeine to stay awake and keep us moving between the white lines! David and I are in the car alone, and the two of us can be very quiet. Well phone call and texts after phone call and texts came in, and soon we were making another pit stop. I grabbed a drink that I knew had lots of caffeine, because I was dragging. (Yes, I know it’s an addiction issue. I’m investigating rehab opportunities). We got back in the car, and it was then that noticed my still full doubleshot.
Lesson learned: you won’t feel the energy if you don’t actually pick up the cup and drink. Just buying it is not enough.
Spiritual parallels abound. Make sure you are putting in the effort needed to feel the energy! It won’t seep in by osmosis.
Onward to the next pit stop!

Marla (& Dave) I feel your “pain” of the feelings of being caffinated or the uncontrollable desire to be the same. However; I haven’t learned your lesson yet, because I always have a drink in my hand and for some reason still feel tired (I blame that on the kiddos). About the “rehab,” if you find it…don’t tell me!! Great website!!
Yes, I work for Starbucks and I can confirm that you won’t get the “energy” if you don’t drink the drink
