Y'all, I've never seen anything like it.
My brother has a Costco membership, and this week, he took us in the giant warehouse so that we could sight-see like the tourists we are.
I saw fresh shrimp large enough to swallow crawdads, I saw barrels of BBQ sauce, I saw enough Melatonin to let someone hibernate all winter, I saw complete patio displays, I saw complete gym displays, I saw crates and crates of diapers, and boxes of Red Lobster Cheddar Rolls. Let me put it this way: when the zombie apocalypse dawns on this planet, I'm heading for Costco, and locking the door behind me. I'll be good for at least a thousand years.
Then, there were these people in uniform who stood in the aisles and fed us as we walked by. One lady was handing out some item resembling Styrofoam crackers, while calling out "Gluten free, GMO free, fat free, and cholesterol free!" "How neat," said I as I bit into one, "I usually have to pay for my own cholesterol."
Imagine that, y'all. A place that gives cholesterol and GMOs away for free!!
People have been asking me for the past week what my look on 2017 is going to be and I have been trying to gather all my thoughts. I tried hard to think up something creative and inspiring to no avail. I was beginning to think there wouldn't be a New Years blog post. But then, Costco.
Anything I ever hoped for was here, for sale, and in bulk. All I had to do was reach for it. (The shelves were pretty tall.)
Thus, my resolution for 2017 is as follows:
If you don't dream big, you'll never accomplish big things. If you wish for shrimp, wish for the giant shrimp. Don't let anyone tell you they don't exist. You've just never looked for them. If you wish for BBQ sauce, wish for a barrel of it. That way, you'll have some for later. If you wish for a night's sleep, wish for a REALLY good night's sleep. If you want material possessions in bulk, get a Costco membership.
Ok, so maybe my resolution is a smidgen bulky. Must be that Costco mindset kicking in. Let me try and sum it all up in the fewest words possible...
Work so that when this year ends, you can look back and be proud you accomplished something!
Also, become a millionaire.
