A is for A Good Cup of Coffee - OR - A Cold Diet Pepsi

#AtoZChallenge 2026 badge A

I can't believe it - I think I am a fool for trying to accomplish April A to Z this year . . but here goes nothing! My theme is "Things that Make Life Better."
What better place to begin than
A is for A good cup of coffee or A cold Diet Pepsi.
I LOVE Diet Pepsi. I have one every single morning and then I have at least one more during the day.

When we travel to other countries, it is sometimes difficult to find Pepsi products. That means that I drink either Coke Zero or Pepsi Max (or it is Pepsi Zero now?). To be honest, I don't really like either of those, but I drink what is available.
When we land at an airport on our way home, I begin searching for Diet Pepsi!
Evidently, I found one below.


Here is one by my books when I was studying.


Here is one in my old office.


This is a rare photo below. I don't really like to drink them from a glass! I want the Diet Pepsi to live in the refrigerator and be COLD without a glass or ice.


Just FYI - Diet Pepsi is not sponsoring this post. I wish they were. Maybe they could offer me a free year's supply hahaha!

Mark, on the other hand, is a coffee man. Every night before we go to bed, I run out to the garage fridge and bring a Diet Pepsi inside so that I don't have to walk too far upon awakening!! While I'm grabbing my drink, Mark is loading the Keurig. His favorite joke is that every night, right before we fall asleep, he doesn't say "I Love You!" . . . he says, "I get to wake up and have coffee." I'm actually not joking, but feel free to laugh!! Keurig is not sponsoring this blog either, but we would be glad to accept any products they might send us, too hahaha!

To Mark and to me, one thing that makes life just a little bit better is either "A cup of morning coffee or A cold Diet Pepsi."

What are a few things that make life a little better for you? What are some small things that bring you joy?

It's funny how something so small can feel like such a comfort, or even a treat! Maybe that is the point!

I hope you come back tomorrow because I'll be writing about books!
