A Chocolate Milkshake Got Me Motivated

How a milkshake got me motivated again

Exhilarated? Elated? Thankful to my brother? A sugar rush? A drink I really liked.

I was tired of having fluids after a tooth extraction two weeks ago. Cautiously, I didn’t have regular food yet because I take blood thinners, but I was bored with my diet of drinkable yogurt, fruit smoothies, Ensure meal replacements, and creamy soup.

Certainly, the liquid diet was self-imposed but enough is enough.

Then one evening my brother dropped by with a milkshake for me.

It was the best I’d ever had (I exaggerate.)

As I drank it, I felt like I was flying downhill on a toboggan. Or being on a plane for the first time.

The chocolate milkshake was the kick-start I needed to get me motivated again.
