Girl Scout Cookies

I love girl scout cookies! Whew! I’m glad I got that off my chest. Personally I think that trefoils and tagalongs are the best I love the taste of shortbread and that peanut butter crunch BUT in a pinch I’ll eat a thin mint…or that one with coconut. And even though the increase in price sometimes makes me pause I gladly hand over the money… after all…it goes to a good cause. This year they added a new flavor destined to make me fat They put lemon glaze on the shortbread…OMG…Imagine that! Each Lemon Up cookie has an intention…a mission an ambition…a lofty goal Each one is imprinted with a message to be imprinted on my soul. They tell me I’m a leader…I’m a risk taker unlike the trefoil or tagalong… that I’m an innovator a go getter they tell me I am strong… Which is why when I took out my first lemon up I was taken aback…appalled When I read the message on my cookie and it told me…I am bald. “Although it’s true, what an odd message to put on a cookie.” I said to Deborah She smiled and said, “Jim…you’re getting old your cookie doesn’t say I am bald your cookie says, I am bold.” “Well that makes more sense.” I laughed as I boldly ate my cookie… every bite hoping next year they’ll add one with carrots to help improve my sight.
