Brief Conceits will be moving off of Blogger onto a WordPress-powered site. The transition will happen later this week. The web address will remain the same, and if you are subscribed to the RSS that should remain the same as well. Thank you!

Refind Your Happiness

"How are you doing today?" she asked after taking my order

"I'm fine," I said, "How are you?"

"I'm okay, or I will be okay," the Starbucks barista sighed, "Want to try a sample?" She handed me a chocolate chip cookie piece.

"Sure."

"It's good, isn't it? Just like homemade. They make me happy—made me happy," her eyes looked off to nowhere.

"They don't make you happy anymore?" I asked.

"I haven't had one in a long time," she sighed again, "Venti Americano with cream."

I take my order, "Why don't you refind your happiness in a chocolate chip cookie?"
