A photocopied menu for the Castaway Cafe fell out of my shoe this morning.

It was 6am, and I was looking down the sight of a 12-hour day, most of it challenging. I'm not sure how this memory from Maui got in my shoe. But there it was.

And it made me smile.

We had breakfast there. It was a perfect morning seasoned with light breezes and blue skies. We enjoyed our food outside, beneath a couple palm trees. I remember saying, "I never want to leave this place."

But of course I had to.

This has been a tough week. But this morning made it just a little better.

Thanks to a folded menu that slid out of my shoe,

from the Castaway Cafe.
