That song popped into my head today - I used to sing it when I was still a preschooler. I was so excited when my dad bought the sheet music for it. There was a picture on it of a chubby, adorable little girl - I was pretty sure it was me!
Well, fast forward about 55 years and here I am, suddenly, opening up and letting the sunshine in. Smiling because "frown-ers never win!" Last week I focused more on my food, leaving out much of the sugar, most of the grains and quite a bit of the sodium! I gained half a pound! But wait, frown-ers never win! And there is the crux - when life dishes out unexpected hiccups to our well laid plans, the first thing I do (Do you?) is complain. Why? Why? Why? Why, when I ate so much better? Why, when I really, really wanted it? Why, when I was trying so hard? Well, why not? After all, this is a many-pronged journey I am on!
