Happiness 101

Well here we are us happy guys At the start of an exciting new day The sun is shining the boidies are singing What more is there to say! Perhaps it's that second piece of apple pie Or that box of chocolates you consumed I've seen you down an extra large pizza It's a while before your breathing resumes There is a cure for this age old problem It's called pushing away from the table But it sure takes a lot of intestinal fortitude For some of us we're just not able! Do you ever get totally discouraged And think you're losing your mind You're definitely in the majority today The country's sliding in the brine! There's still hope for all us tubby people But we really must try to persevere Forego that second large piece of apple pie And a trimmer you will appear!

sound advice, dear Jack! One of the issues with 'older' folks is the propensity to throw caution to the wind and indulge in those tasty, irresistible sweet. My hubby is evidence of that HA. Healthy eating is a choice but, like you said, it takes fortitude. I struggle sometimes with my level of fortitude :-) enjoy your evening, Sara
