Did You Hear It

~ ~ * * ~ ~ * * ~ ~
I went on the scale today.
I knew I'd been eating too much.
I always decide that I'll get away with it.
It won't show up.
 
Not this time.
Nope.
 
My old body laughed at me.
I yelled at it .. the scale.
The old body, well, what can I say.
 
I used to be thin.
As a child.
Then, I had kids.
Never ever recovered from that.
Have always had forty or so to lose.
 
Every year I wish to be a certain weight.
At the time of year when you do those things.
I gave up doing that a while back.
Taking steroids will do that to you.
Give up on the losing thing.
 
Only for some reason, I thought,
that maybe it had gone down.
What a silly old lady I am.
 
The new jeans that I bought
fit though so that's a good thing.

I think I would have lost it.
You know how that goes.
The scale being mean
and the clothes follow.
 
So, I will now stop eating.
How do you do that ?
 
Me and the cats on diets.
Yes, even they need to lose a few.
Aren't you glad you're not at this house ?
 
By the way, I put the new jeans on to
go to the grocery store to get that pecan
pie that had winked at me the other day.
 
Nope, not happening.
 
Sad face.
 
OK, got to go .. Jodie Belle has been a
barking machine today and she's at it again.

The pecan pie is my favorite.
What's your delic pie or cake or ... ?
There comes a time in your life when you walk away from all of the drama and the people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right and pray for those who don’t. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of life, getting back up is living.
