"Life is BIG. Dream accordingly."

[sinkwriter]

Because my beloved coffee shop Caribou Coffee was closing its doors today, I've spent the weekend drinking my body weight in their delectable hot cocoa.

(Okay, I didn't drink that much, but I usually only visit there approximately once a week, so going every day since Wednesday was a lot more than usual.)

I don't know what I'll do without my favorite little place to sit, relax, read and people-watch. Or where I can amuse myself, trying to figure out their daily trivia question. Or where I'll find such fun, cheesy little "Life" sayings on the sides of each paper cup, quotes that always made me smile and ponder a little, such as:

"Life is getting lost... just to find something new."
"Life is short. Stay awake for it."
"Indulge in chocolate therapy."
"Dare to adventure."
"Marshmallows have no nutritional value, and that's okay." (Heee.)
"You'll only be your current age once."
"Sing out loud. Dance in the rain."
"Be the ruler of your own life."
"Be the first to apologize."
"Spin the globe and pack your bags."
"Make time for silly."
"Laugh so hard you cry."
"Dance to your own rhythm."
"Listen first, talk second."
"Take all of your vacation days."
"Do it for life, not profit."
"Follow your heart."

...and today's special message:

"Life is BIG. Dream accordingly."

:)

Nevertheless, I savored my last cup of Caribou hot cocoa this evening, and it was goooooooood.

Goodbye, Caribou. You were awesome.

Aw, sounds like a place with great ambiance; plus hot cocoa is amazing as a rule, so that's even more of a loss. :/ And, ooh, I've never seen a cafe do daily trivia, I had no idea that was really a thing... I love it!

Hee, all those 'life' sayings were just the right dose of morning cuteness, as well. I'd have been tickled pink to have one of those adorn my cup. :)
