Hey! Thanks for taking the time, it was certainly a present for me :)
I think the context in which Dale Cooper gives the advice is one of simple, pleasant times turning dark. He gives the advice as a reminder to indulge in simple pleasures and to take care of oneself even when the world is suddenly chaotic, confusing, or violent. That may or may not resonate with you—maybe it truly is simple every day to get up and do all the things your body and soul need, and the reminder is truly unnecessary for you! In which case, hey, that's incredibly cool and I'm happy for you.
Regardless, I do think it's ultimately a terribly mundane question, with terribly mundane answers. Coop's examples aren't of dramatic gifts; some might even call them necessities depending on circumstance. Maybe you need the coffee to make it through the day. Maybe you need a nap. We all need new clothes sometimes.
Reframing those needs as a gift to ourself, an investment of not only resource but also care and kindness, can be useful in itself.
I'm tickled by the reaction to this so far and appreciative of your sincere engagement. I hope, whether or not you return to this on subsequent days, and whether or not—if you do—you have any interest in the eventual game beyond the checkin question, that you can enjoy this interaction. :)
(Also, for whatever it's worth, this is the perfect place for such thoughts. Yall did it!!)
