I like almonds. It’s National Almond Day. I bought some almonds at Cub today and ate them. Yay!

Sometimes celebrations are simple. 

Sometimes an arbitrary self-assigned blog post topic doesn’t give one much to work with. 

The most interesting aspect of my attempt to write about almonds is how little I have to say. Almonds don’t inspire any tangents or uncover any almonds related memories. 

I could try to expand this post by building up the only narrative tension for this post I can conjure –I had to struggle with the decision over which flavor of almonds to buy today. I can also admit that I did not go to Cub on a mission to buy almonds for Almond Day, I just happened to be on an emergency yogurt mission, saw the almonds at the checkout counter, and thought “Hey, I could buy some and get a selfie with them for my National Almond Day post.”

Maybe there’s something beautiful about something that can just be enjoyed and considered at face value. (Face value as long as I just consider my personal reactions and ignore ethical questions related to the environmental impact of almonds).

Maybe sometimes I am tired and want to give up on a post and just go to bed.
