Why Milk & Cookies?

So, why "milk and cookies"?

Well, I don't know about you, but when I think of chicken soup I think of the traditional red and white can of Campbells Chicken Noodle Soup. And when I think of chicken noodle soup, I automatically step into a time warp which takes me back to being a kid - a sick-in-bed kid whose nose is stuffy. With all due respect to Jack Canfield of Chicken Soup for the Soul fame, I don't think my soul has the flu, so chicken soup seems to be the wrong remedy at the moment.

No, my spirit isn't sick; it's just a bit tired, and a little scared sometimes. What I really need right now is a little comfort, and to me comfort means milk and cookies. Yep, give me some Oreos and whole milk and I'm quite sure I'd start to feel better pretty quickly.

I have feeling there are a lot of people who could use some milk and cookies right now. Since I can't personally deliver fresh baked cookies - or even a package of Oreos - to everyone who needs a little comfort, I thought I would start a blog where they might find something to make them smile, to help them keep things in perspective, and to let them know they're not alone.

Come back soon. The cookies will be waiting...
