As I drove by the Dairy Queen today a sign caught my eye – tin roof sundae blizzards. My heart started racing and for one fleeting moment I believed that blizzard was just what I wanted and needed on a hot summer day. The loud voice that hates me was trying hard to convince me with such arguments as ‘ Oh come on its summer!’ and ‘You live only once!’ and ‘You’ve got to have some pleasure in life!’ and on and on. Then the little voice that loves me said ‘sugar never was happiness!’ I believed the little voice because it loves me and I know it is true. Sugar is not life nor happiness nor summer. And if I live only once let that life be filled with health and vitality; not self imposed illness and misery.
