Day 25 Over the Emotional Hump

Thursday morning and an afternoon meeting is cancelled...we are sliding into Friday and with that proximity to the weekend, a heavy layer of stress melts away. On Sunday evening, the five work days loom ahead with all kinds of real and imagined circumstances and problems. With negative projections come the age old excuses to head for the cookie jar. Ah...the cookie jar, a haven of joyful carbs, sugary excuses and chewy delights. Since giving up sugar for Lent, the cookie jar is not as much of a temptation. Apparently, sugar is a serious trigger food, because I don't crave it now that I am not eating it.

A celebration this evening to mark a sister's new job...a delicious (and controlled!) meal at Macaroni Grill...later, a large green citrus candle purchased in honor of the ending of February...my soul craves green at this time of the year...not necessarily vegetables, but decorations, sweaters, candles and floral arrangements. Too much white...reminds me of cream cheese, vanilla ice cream, cheesecake, cream, white frosting...stop! Back to green...
