Delicious

It never fails.  When an ice cream craving hits, it's forty-five degrees outside.  Yes, I can see my breath and all I can think is "frozen novelty".  Does anyone else experience this phenomenon?  And another interesting observation - this fact does not in any way negate warm weather ice cream cravings.  This proves what I have long known to be the case - ice cream is just good.  Period. The end.  Any time of day or night.  Hungry or not.  I will eat it (and likely feel guilty later, but that's a whole other post). 

But the focus tonight is on "delicious".  Not the nutritional specs of ice cream, not what emotional wounds I am avoiding or causing by indulging - what if none of that really even mattered?  If each day we took time to slow down and enjoy just one deeply delicious moment - how might things change?  And how often do I eat ice cream and not even taste it?

So, back to my original problem.  I am now not only cold on the outside, but have compounded the situation by putting frozen dairy on the inside.  If only it worked like a double negative - but no, I didn't do nothing to help my chilly predicament.  It was delicious.  Can't resist referencing the Latin root of the word 'delicious' - from the Latin deliciae - 'delight' or 'pleasure'.  Challenge yourself - just one delicious moment each day.  Fully appreciate it.  And see what happens.  

We all scream for ice cream.
