the breakfast club

Ok, not the traditional breakfast club…

I’m talking about the power of breakfast with friends. 

I didn’t realize the power of this simple act until this very morning.

I love going out to breakfast with friends! But there was something about spending the last five nights with these beautiful people, maybe being a little crazy from that fact, and having mimosas and a delicious breakfast that made me cherish a good friend breakfast.

Needless to say, it was needed. And amazing.

The ICU I work on utilizes travel nurses. These are nurses who travel from place to place in the country and sign short-term contracts with a hospital. Three of these travel nurses are about to head out on another adventure, so we wanted to celebrate with a fun breakfast!

We went to the Garnet Cafe, which is a local breakfast joint here in Coeur d’Alene. I have heard nothing but good reviews, so I was anxious to try it!

It did not disappoint!

I got a scramble with all types of veggies, potatoes, and rosemary toast.

Oh my gosh. 

Probably one of the best breakfast foods I have ever had.

But that wasn’t even the best part!

The best part was laughing until our stomachs hurt.

After working a twelve-hour night shift (especially after five of them), you get a little silly.

We had the best time laughing and joking.

To be completely honest, it gets pretty lonely up here.

This breakfast was exactly what I needed to remind myself of the good people and good times that can be had in a new place! And the little nudge I needed as I go into night 6 of 6 tonight.

The power of friends, laughter, and good food is unfathomable.

It has the power to make you feel loved, light, happy, joyful, and those feelings are needed!

Take some friends, go out to breakfast, add a fun mimosa on top, and have a beautiful day! Today is a short post, as I woke up late… sorry!

Cheers,
