Okay! I can’t believe it is November ! Which
made me think – there is probably lots of chocolate, little bags of
chips etc, etc at everyone’s home. Does
this sound familiar?? You have great intentions – no candy for you!!
Then as the little costumed critters come to your door, all good
intentions fly into the moonlit sky just like the witches of There
is nothing wrong with consuming the occasional
chocolate or any other indulgence; but make sure it is a choice, not an
impulse. IF you are going to have chocolate – make sure it is your
absolute favourite chocolate, go out and pay the extra for it, sit down
and savour every morsel!! Impulses tend to make us “get mad at
ourselves” if we make a “choice” it usually feels good and we can
just enjoy!! Get
up and get going – away from the bowl of treats!! Deb Cell:
