Choices

Strange morning today.  Woke up to about 2 inches of snow...in Portland, Oregon that is a lot of snow.  The second day of spring and we get snow...how rude!  Kids school was delayed by 2 hrs, but I had to get to work on time.  I wanted to get an early start, so I left about 45 minutes early.  I stopped at Albertson's to pick up my Diet Snapple tea and wanted to grab a quick bite for breakfast.  Of course I went to the bakery, but they only had donuts in the pick one area.  I started looking at the packaged stuff.  There were some cream cheese danishes with lemon that were calling to me.  As I picked it up, I heard in my head, mitzvah goerot mitzvah and said to myself, good choices lead to other good choices.  I did choose croissants instead...not sure it was better since I ate all of them.  What I took away was, it would have been a better choice to get one donut instead of buying the package of croissants. 

What I was happy about is that I put down the package of danishes and that my mind immediately went to making good choices leads to more good choices.  I am counting that a success.  I hope that it will contiue to guide me.  Tying concepts that I have already internalized with new behaviors I am trying to develop works wonders for me.  The more I can focus holistically, bringing my spirituality into my physical and emotional day, the happier I feel, the more energetic I get, and I feel what I would consider to be "normal".

As I look at my choices, I must take more control and find ways to work on my snacking.  Still working on a plan, but setting up a snack bag for home is a thought that I am going with.  Also, put a jar out so I have to pay to take my snack bag.  These are just a few ideas I'm batting around...we'll see what comes to fruition.
