Dr Pepper–flavored ice cream
This #thankyouthursday, I am grateful for Dr Pepper–flavored ice cream.
Someone told me a while ago that Bluebell was coming out with a new flavor, and I definitely liked the idea.
I have long loved Dr Pepper, especially as a native Texan. Even though I rarely drink soda, Dr Pepper is one of my favorites, and as a flavor, I’ve appreciated it in everything from lip balm to jelly beans.
And then, yesterday at the grocery store, I saw it: Dr Pepper Float.
Technically, it’s Dr Pepper–flavored sherbet swirled with vanilla ice cream, but I’m going to go ahead and call it Dr Pepper–flavored ice cream because that is how my mouth experiences it, and let me tell you, the experience is GOOD.
There are so many things we can worry about in this world. Some of those things are worth worrying about, for sure. (Well, more specifically, worth doing something about.)
But even when there are legitimate reasons to stress, there are just as many reasons to give thanks, to smile, to appreciate simple pleasures.
And this week, Dr Pepper–flavored ice cream is at the top of my smiling-with-gratitude-and-simple-pleasure list.
Love > fear,
