Day 293: For Shame, For Shame

You ever felt ashamed?
Sure you have, you can admit it.
At least I'm telling you that you can admit it because I'm about to.

Not about big stuff, just about little stuff - I'll leave my big stuff in my closet and you can do whatever you want with yours. I'm keeping it a bit light for the sake of conversation.

But yeah, I mean little stuff, like:
-If you're on a diet with excercise trying to lose weight, and you opt in for the butter on your muffin (sweetened with applesauce, of course!)
-You offer your daughter a blue crayon when she can't decide what color to start with even though you secretly want to hand her the pink one "because pink is for girls" and that's the one you would want to start with if you were her
-You go out for shopping or laundry or another errand and you enjoy your time away from your family (Don't worry, I always want to come back, but believe me, I'm savoring the time outside)
-Your partner asks you if you have any cash and you say no even though you know you have at least $2 cash money in your pocket right then (oh, come on, I know you've done that too - it's only $2!)
-You try to think of ways of getting around answering a question or explaining something in detail to your very young child even though you generally pride yourself on talking to her like a "normal person".
-You told yourself you were going to do 3 sets of your workout routine today but you only did one (or none)

I think you see what I mean. This wasn't intended to be confession time. I just wanted to throw it out there - all that shame. It's all over little stuff - don't sweat the small stuff , yeah , I get it, but let me tell ya: all that small stuff adds up sometimes!

So, you just keep sweating the small stuff, but don't give it more sweat than it's worth. At least I'll try if I know you're out there doing the same thing. Besides, we all have stuff to be plenty proud of to overshadow that little creeping shame.

Cheers to you and all that awesome stuff you do.

I'm going to go look for some healthy and delicious recipes.
