Greetings!
"The core of true success is love. That includes loving yourself enough to take care of yourself."
~Zig Ziglar
For many people January is the month of hibernation and hunkering down. We dabbled (or dove) into many forms of excess from Thanksgiving on; the days are darker and shorter, and we feel like we have to be 'good', at least for awhile. Of course, 'good' is relative, and really we are all just getting re-focused on practicing good habits. My wish for all of you is that you are able to do this in love. Love for yourself, because who better to love you? We hope you are resting and rejuvenating your spirit, we all need to do that now and again.
If your best friend was tired, broke, and even down on her (or him) self and needing renewal, you would not beat her up emotionally, or punish her for not taking the most excellent care of herself in December. You would encourage, support, and love her in spite of (or perhaps because of) her fallible humanity. Don't you deserve that loving attitude as well? I think you do!
Everything we do, every choice we make, every path we cross or follow, brings us to exactly where (and who) we are, at any given moment. We can celebrate the fun stuff, that's easy! When we give thanks for our shortcomings, our trials and our challenges, even when we don't overcome them the way we think we "should", THAT is the harder stuff. That is the stuff that will send us to the next level of our personal growth.
I think most of us know all of that to some degree, and I also think we look past it, if not outright forget about it, when it comes to our selves. So whether you are hibernating, or not, treat your self as you treat those you love. You deserve it! PLUS it will help you achieve your goals and resolutions! After all, we love you, and we take that seriously.
As January moves towards February and the weather deters you remember: the weather usually won't stop us from serving you! We almost always make it in, even in the snow, and we rarely lose power in Old Town. If it's a snow day and you know any emergency workers, including police, fire, power company, road crew, dispatchers and more, let them know that we offer free hot coffee, cocoa or cider for those who work to help the rest of us survive the worst weather days.
We can't wait to see you here!
~Monica

"I will not play tug o' war. I'd rather play hug o' war. Where everyone hugs instead of tugs, Where everyone giggles and rolls on the rug, Where everyone kisses, and everyone grins, and everyone cuddles, and everyone wins."

What's Happening?
Hot Stuff!!
IT'S DOUBLE POINTS JANUARY!
Normally you earn one point for every dollar you spend, but not this month. January visits earn you 2 points for every dollar you spend, catapulting you to free meals twice as fast! In case you forgot, or are new to our loyalty rewards program, it works like this: You buy delicious food and beverages from us and we swipe your points card so you get the points value for what you spent. Then you get to come in and spend those points on free meals! Everyone uses them differently, some folks like to get a free coffee in the morning while others save up to treat their family to meals. It's a little way that we can say thank you: however you like it is how you get to use it, because we are so very grateful that you choose to spend your time and money with us!
25 points = a free coffee drink or cookie
50 points = a free sweet of any kind
75 points = a sweet and a drink
100 points = a free meal (entree, beverage, dessert)
and 150 points = 2 free meals!
How cool is that? It's the most generous rewards program around!
Please know that we are currently having issues, and are in transition with, our gift/rewards cards and we are out of the electronic cards, so this year only this deal applies only to existing rewards members. We'll let you know when we get the new cards!
****************************
PLUS It's Red Envelope Redemption Time!
You know all those red envelopes that you collected from us in December? You may bring them in to redeem them all month! One envelope per paying customer, per visit, and since every envelope has a great prize for you it will feel like it's the holidays without any of the stress!
****************************
GO HAWKS!
Mark, Kai and Chelsea are going to be busy decorating 12th man shortbread cookies for the great playoff games! We will have them out this week, while they last, with a limit of 2 per customer unless you pre-order.
If you want to be sure to get some be sure to pre-order and we will have as many as you want! Otherwise we know they will go quickly!We have our regular round shortbread that are decorated, larger football shapes, jerseys, and helmets that you can have personalized any way you like, just let us know when you call in. Our shortbread and frosting outscore all the other decorated cookies, just like the Hawks will outscore the Panthers on Sunday!

"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not."

You may be thinking "How can I help?" Here is one small way:
Volunteer on Clear Creek Trail! They are always looking for volunteers to help maintain this jewel of Silverdale in any way you are comfortable with. It's a great way to get outside, tune in to our local ecosystem, commune with nature, and be active, all while benefiting the greater community.
With the retirement of the two most industrious Task Force Trail Workers, Tex Lewis and Roy Meyers, they need many volunteers to step in and lend a hand. Meetings are the first Thursday of every month, excluding December, at 0830, lasting about 2 hours. They talk about trail maintenance, trail interruptions, tools, projects and volunteers. They also need help with all aspects of trail management and maintenance.
To be part of the team, contact them at 360.434.7665 or ClearCreekTrail@yahoo.com
And here is a delicious feast for those of you who read all the way to the end! Check out this great video that Comcast Neighborhood's Sabrina Register did about Silverdale!
After all, everybody needs a little help now and then...
