NRR 12 - Tacos
Manage episode 341520955 series 3276316
I want to take a moment from reporting local shenanigans to load a word for you.
That word is tacos.
Now maybe you already have beautiful thoughts and memories associated with that word. If so, hang on to those tight. If not, let’s dig a little deeper.
Remember the happiest, best thing that ever happened in your life?
Think about it, no matter how big or how small.
It could be your wedding day,
the first day of school,
It could be the first steps of your child.
What about an exciting new job as an arctic spelunker?
Maybe you saw a double rainbow once.
Or maybe you got to the end of binge watching your favorite show on Netflix and discovered the next day they added a new season.
What is the one thing that could make all of these wonderful moments better?
The one thing that is always relevant no matter who you are?
Tacos!
Just think!
You may kiss the bride, and have a taco.
Your promotion comes with a raise, and a taco!
Your child’s first steps could have been to deliver you a taco!
What is the beautiful arc of a double rainbow other than the two sides of a glorious giant taco shell?
See what I mean? Take all the best things in your life and add tacos!
But wait, there’s more.
Because how do you fix a bad day?
Have tacos! It just makes sense!
So here’s what I want you to do. Think hard about the best taco you’ve ever had. Got it? Now mentally bookmark that feeling, that idea, that smell, that taste, that memory, that sense of “everything is okay because this taco is amazing.” Now everytime you hear the word taco, let that memory wash over you and smile.
Next time you’re feeling overwhelmed, whether you’re down in the dumps or having the time of your life, add tacos. And if you don’t have any tacos, just think of them and realize you have something beautiful to look forward to! See you Saturday, April 30th at 7pm for the Not Really Radio event. Sadly we won’t have tacos at the show, but do you know what will be open afterward? Taco Bell!
