Last week, I was sad.  It happens.

On my way home from errands I decided to stop here because I was depressed hot and wanted a cool drink.  And a distraction from the aching feeling that my life wasn’t enough.  (Ultimately, I know I am enough but sometimes it just doesn’t feel like it.)

“Candy, Soda Pop, Fun.“

Fun? That’s what I needed so I thought about getting these.

(Is it just me or does that M&M guy have an evil look on his face?)

But then I realized I would need these…

and these…

and I would have to “try” these…

and these…

In fact, I could eat every last ounce of sweet sugary distraction and I would still be me.  Only disappointed and with a tummy ache.

So instead I got this.

Ingredients: Pure Juice made from apple, white grape, and peace juice concentrates, sparkling water, citrus acid, and natural flavors, gum arabic, beta carotene, red radish concentrate.

I was pretty good.

Two years ago I would have eaten everything in the store and then cried myself to sleep.

That’s not fun.

Do I miss things like M&Ms and Swedish Fish?  Sure, for about 5 minutes but then I remember that every choice has it’s consequence.

That’s key.

For me.

Moderation is a beautiful thing when possible.

Ironically, I’m walking out the door to go here.  Going for the mini-roadtrip and time with friends not for the cupcakes.  Although if they have one made with honey I’ll be sure to enjoy it.  I’m loving life today and I love you!!!
