Tim Hortons - "EveryCup Tells A Story"

Tim Hortons is asking people to tell them their own Tim Hortons story. I have mine and have submitted to the Tim Hortons website. I thought I would share my story with you...

My Tim Horton’s Story…
A few years ago I started writing a Blog about Ontario festivals and events. The Blog eventually grew into a full blown website, Ontario Festivals Visited! It was our idea to travel around Ontario visiting as many festivals and events as time and weather would allow. To date we have visited over 90 events! After we visit each event I write an article about what we have seen and heard. I then publish the article, with lots of photos and video clips, on our website. Between the website articles, two weekly festival related Blogs and two monthly newsletters, I write a lot! In fact, I write something every day! I do this in my home office and, believe it or not, it can become quite monotonous. Every week I Tuesday I drive my wife to Whitby for a Doctor’s appointment. During the hour plus wait, I was always looking for something to do. Then, about a year ago a new Tim Horton’s opened its doors! It just seemed to come naturally that I would spend my time waiting there. I have been going there ever since. But that is not the end of the story! To make the time pass more quickly, I started writing articles there! At first I thought that there would be too many distractions, but just the opposite happened! I was relaxed there and could block out most distractions! Since starting, I have written over 150 articles! I’m not sure how many cups of coffee I have purchased, but a lot! It may seem odd, but the other people sitting around me don’t bother me! In fact, I find them comforting. I believe that some of my best articles have been written there. And occasionally someone sees me writing and asks what the article is about. I am glad to tell them and to talk about Ontario’s great festivals and events. Talking to them makes me feel good. Now, when I find I have writer’s block, I pack up my paper and pens and head to our local Tim’s! The block seems to clear immediately! Thanks Tim’s! See you soon! My car knows how to find you!
