It's The Little Things

Today, I ran some errands which wore me out. I got into the car to drive home, pleased that I had thought to bring a thermos of tea to enjoy on the drive. My little thermos makes perfectly steeped tea. As I reached into my jacket pocket for the car keys I "discovered" a Lindt Chocolate Truffle that I bought last week. That little treat just made my day.

Oh my what a treat that was Paigea! Nothing like a lovely Lindt truffle to go with tea. Glad you made it home safely. Hope all is well for you there my friend.

They are a nice treat. I often buy one from the bulk section at the grocery store.

Sometimes the little things mean the most. A nice chocolate truffle with some tea sounds good to me.

@paigea I do like the white chocolate ones but I have never had a citrus one, I will have to keep my eyes open.

I haven't tried the peanut butter ones. The one I found was a citrus one with white chocolate. I would never have thought to try it, but once when I was going through the checkout with my one truffle, the cashier suggested it. And it was good!

You are lucky that it's the cold season, else you wound have found a melted Lindt Chocolate Truffle.

That's a good idea to take a thermos with you. I hadn't thought of doing that.

@paigea And MUCH cheaper. We found that with the motor-home when we were in Europe. We saved oodles by making our coffee in our van.

I take it to work every day and so got in the habit of bringing it on long days away from home. Handier than stopping someplace at times.

@paigea yup! Love the little things especially ones like random hi hugs, or calls from nieces and nephews. Or a leftover piece of candy you thought you ate.

Sounds like you were lucky there. Some days I was not lucky one bit. Brought food and drink along for a long trip: found out at the last second that I packed but left them at home!

@paigea When it happened the first time, I frowned, said, 'sorry kids!' The second time, then the third time, I shook my head, 'OMG, I am getting old!'
