Once in a while despite the troubles of the world or one's own less than ideal circumstance we need to just take a little time and enjoy something just for ourselves. It really doesn't matter what that little something may be.
It could be a song on the radio that means just a little something extra, a bird singing outside our window, the company of an old friend, or a chocolate cream Oreo cookie. Now, I'm not real big on sweets, but these wonderful little cookies consisting of round hard chocolate wafers sandwiching a chocolate cream frosting are a nice little treat in the middle of the afternoon.
I will admit that I have become hopelessly addicted to these cookies. I must force myself to limit my enjoyment of them to a couple of cookies in the afternoon. After all, with my forced limited activity it wouldn't take much to elevate my already 200lbs to a very flabby and unhealthy level. I lost 50lbs over the past 6 months and would hate to regain it.
But they sure are good.
Between the little cookie treats and relaxing in the porch swing on the lanai listening to the song birds, I try to find my little pleasures where I can.
