Give into that skinny, extra hot, chai tea latté and blueberry scone at Starbucks 

Gaze out the window at approaching gray-quickly-turning-black thunderclouds and

worry 

OR -- do my grocery shopping

How about the latté and scone while doing my grocery shopping?

I open my laptop to Fresh Direct, online grocery store, in New York City. . . .

and begin clicking.

Milk, organic (2) - add to chart
Apples, gala (4) - add to chart
Alaska Cooper River salmon (2 fillets, 6-8 ounces) - add to chart
Potatoes, red russet (6) - add to chart
Dishwashing detergent (50 ounces) - add to chart
Paper towels (8 rolls) - add to chart
Frozen strawberries (16 ounces) - add to chart

And on it goes until my shopping cart is full, or as full as I can maneuver down the virtual aisles.

Time to check out.

Pick delivery time.  The next morning between 8:00-10:00. Click.

Payment.  Verify previously entered credit card information. Click.

Verify address.  Click.

Submit. Click.

Done!

Close computer.

**********

Fly to NYC. Sleep. Wake up.

The intercom beeps, "Your Fresh Direct order is on its way up."

  

Sometimes Life is easy, 

    embarrassingly easy,

        gratefully easy!
