Making Choices

Sometimes I eat chocolate chip muffins – I just choose to make them healthy ones

I went to the grocery store the other morning after the gym. I wanted to get some fruit and some dates and that was about it. To get them, I had to walk by a breakfast buffet filled with sausages, eggs, bacon, fried potatoes, and a variety of other things. It smelled good, salty and fatty and savoury, and people were filling up containers to go.

It didn’t make me want to eat it at all. Even though I was hungry, I want to feel good. None of that food makes me feel good.

I grabbed a couple of kiwi fruit and the dates and headed for the register. To get there I had to walk through displays of chocolate bars, potato chips, and candy. Then on my way out there was a big rack full of croissants and donuts and other baked goodies.

Trying to do multiple things at the same time just doesn’t work for me. I find that the more I try to do, the less I actually get done and whatever I do accomplish doesn’t seem to get done very well.

There are certain things that I consider to be vital to my life. Exercise is a big one. I know that when I’m not moving around enough I don’t feel that great. It’s become a part of my routine, no different than brushing my teeth or having breakfast or sitting and writing. None of these things are crucial to my survival, but they became part of my routine because they make me feel better.

Maybe brushing my teeth is crucial, I don’t know. It seems that my ancestors from hundreds of years ago did okay with no fancy toothpaste or electric brushes. Anyways, I choose to brush.
