A Note From Your Publisher: The one about convenience ๐Ÿ“

Hey Mac Families,

What is your number one priority when it comes to activities? 

Cost? Time of day? Location?

I have decided recently that I have entered the stage of life where it is convenience for me.

It wasn't always that way. I'd walk a little farther for a cheaper meal. A little drizzle? No matter. 

But now, you certainly are not going to catch me in any sort of weather. You better believe that I am choosing the restaurant that I can walk across a parking lot to instead of down the street.

  • Am I just old? 
  • Is it simply the winter weather? 
  • Have I lost my sense of adventure? 
  • Have my kids worn me out?

I don't know. All's I know is that if it's more convenient, it's currently better in my book. 

Just me?

Maybe it's just the winter blues. Maybe I'll change my mind when summer rolls back around. 

(Who am I kidding? You know I'll be complaining that it's too hot.)

Is choosing convenience so bad? 

Peace โ˜ฎ๏ธ, Love โค๏ธ, & Macaroni ๐ŸŒผ,
