it's doughnut day!

Kosmo - Arizona, 2020

When the weather cooperates, I enjoy a morning on the patio, reading or writing. We had a little West Highland Terrier, Kosmo, who never missed the opportunity to be outdoors. I would enjoy coffee and cool weather. Kosmo would patrol the yard and bask in the sun.

We also shared a doughnut. I don't remember how, or when, it started, but once a week (usually Sunday), Kosmo and I would split a Hostess Blueberry Jumbo Donette (that's an actual thing). One bite for me. One bite for Kosmo. And so on, until it was gone. It became a tradition. Doughnut day.

Kosmo is no longer with us, but the tradition continues. Nearly every Sunday morning, my wife picks up coffee and a blueberry doughnut (we've graduated to "shop" doughnuts). Our three dogs gather, excitedly, in the kitchen and enjoy one bite each, until it's gone.

Well, today is doughnut day! Celebrate with us and treat yourself. You deserve coffee and a treat. Little things make a big difference.

Cheers to you...and to Kosmo! 🎉🍩
