This is not a commercial or a pitch for desserts shops, but please eat the ice cream.

Sure there are times for moderation, but as often as you possibly can in your life you should find the simple pleasures and enjoy them.

Walk barefoot in the grass after a spring rain.

Jump in the crunchy leaves.

Dance in the kitchen.

Turn up the music and sing out loud.

Take a nap in the sun on a warm Sunday afternoon.

Watch one more show (yes, we are still watching.)

Linger over a hug from your kids or a friend.

Kiss goodnight and say I love you often.

Tell a funny story and laugh out loud…

It’s not difficult to see that life is too short to cheat yourself … eat the ice cream and treasure every moment.
