Day 41
I had a really great day yesterday with lots of clarity around what is important in life. Relationships was at the top of the list both with friends, and family.
Do you know what is not important? Buying Halloween candy now! Or at all. (I just heard boo’s). But really, it’s already in the stores and it’s August. I’m glad I am not tempted by junk Halloween candy, but this was not always so. As I’ve been weaning off sugar for years, the candy is just no good when you enjoy the taste of real food.
Last year with the pandemic Halloween was basically cancelled, so we dodged a bullet then. The year before, my husband was away, my son was at school, and I was by myself. Do you know what I dared to do? I didn’t buy candy and turned off the porch lights. This way I avoided perpetrating childhood obesity, ADHD, poor nutrition and cavities in a small number of trick or treaters. What a mean ole’ woman I was! This year, we’ll probably go back to our norm where my husband buys the candy a day before Halloween, we hand it out, and then he brings the leftovers to work – oh wait – no office yet.
I’ve got a lunch date at Planted Eats today. Remember the jackfruit incident? I won’t be having that again.
Have a great day.
