In These Dark Times… I’m Buying Books
As I sit here in my usual Starbucks (in my usual seat by the window) drinking my usual drink, I have to admit that I’m a creature of habit. I know it’s not a bad thing, but I would rather believe I’m a mysterious, unpredictable creature instead of the writer who is always sitting in Starbucks. People smile at me when they come in—the ones who stop by on their way to work for their cup of coffee. They smile and even chat with me, as if I’m one of the baristas who works here instead of a customer just like them.
My husband says I’m a comfort to the people who come into my Starbucks—a sign that even in the grim reality of economic recession some things are constant: the sun will rise in the morning and set in the night and I will be at Starbucks. I think he’s just trying to make me feel better. It works. The only thing better than being a mysterious, unpredictable creature is being a beacon of light in these dark times! I’m practically a superhero, right?
