Wandering Target by myself this weekend, I ended up in the only place a middle aged dude by himself would feel comfortable in said establishment: THE LIQUOR AISLE. Beauty in Chaos
That's the name of the first bottle of wine I pick up. I'm laughing out loud at this point. There are people all around. I'm sure a lot of them just looked my way... Literally, I'm standing in a nuthouse of panic buyers as the world is seemingly tanking all around and the label is telling me to look around and appreciate the moment. So here I am, taking my cues from a 2016 Columbia Valley Red Blend. Yep, it's happening. I'm infected. I didn't know losing your mind was a side effect. side note: S/O to all my friends and family in Washington state, feel free to share this story to pass on a little encouragement :) There's a marketing phrase out there that says "Everything Speaks". Though the marketers did a heck of a job getting their product placed in major stores during a major crisis, I don't think that's what I heard from the bottom of that bottle. I heard that there is much to be thankful for right now. I heard it say that it's okay if you have to slow down. I heard it say that this is probably a once-in-a-lifetime event. And shouldn't you at least take the time to look around and remember it?!? Pause the panic so you can peer at the pleasant. Make a choice. Whether your cooped up, quarantined, or coughing--choose the beauty.
