Do Small Things With Great Love

I believe that each day brings a new lesson to the table whether it be a hard lesson or an entertaining one, each new sunrise is an opportunity to look at your life differently and enrich the mind...

Whatever... Eat more doughnuts.

The lesson today was doughnuts make me happy. Jelly filled sugar bombs that are deep fried to perfection make me unbelievably and deliciously happy. This lesson has been long time coming because I've always known that doughnuts make me happy and I'm happy when I'm happy and they make me happy so that I'm happier when I'm happy. However, today I think I truly grasped the idea that when you need something to just make your day a little less crappy - go get a doughnut. 

I'm not saying that you should eat a whole half dozen and then blame me for your weight gain. I'm saying that when you are looking at your day (a Monday, I might add) and seeing the undeniable truth that Monday's suck in every shape or form, you might need a pick me up. My pick me up's are doughnuts. Jelly-filled, deep fried perfections. 

And once you've discovered your happiness, here are the rules to capturing it so your possible weight gain hasn't been all for nothing:

1. Walk to get it. The 30 calories it'll take to get to the grocery store or the bakery will shave off the 3000 by a minor few and you wont feel so bad... (at least that's that I tell myself).

2. Eat it immediately - I bought that doughnut at the grocery store and three feet out the door it had already covered my hand in glaze and a bite taken out of it with jelly oozing out.

3. Cherish the moment. Who cares who's watching you eat a very messy doughnut out of a bakery bag while walking down the street back to work. That thing is delicious and I will eat it on a boat, I will even eat it on a goat and other obscure Dr. Seuss places.

4. Do NOT feel guilty about the doughnut. If you are like me, this thing is a once and a while kind of occasion. A Manic Monday remedy if you will, and I refuse to feel guilty about the sugar bomb and I will not work out an extra 30 minutes later (if I even decide to work out at all) to get off the calories. That thing makes me happy and as far as I'm concerned it worked and I don't want to yell at customers when I get back to work.

The point of all this is: Do small things with great love.

No one was ever UNHAPPY after eating a doughnut. Unless it was a bad doughnut. And that's blasphemy.
