denial

What do you think about living in a state of denial? You all know that I am a sugar-a-holic. Dad has this theory that if, when we eat sugar, or something "unhealthy", we convince ourselves that what we are eating is really good for us, instead of bad for us, our bodies will use it in a healthy way. (did you follow that)? He calls it "mind over matter." This has been a long, long, long, long, winter for me. My winter survival technique was to accept dad's "mind over matter strategy"mixed with denial. I tried to convince myself that I loved winter and when that didn't work, I tried to pretend it wasn't winter. It didn't work out very well. Hopefully, after Sunday's snow storm, that is all behind us. There are signs of spring. The grass is green and the flowers are trying to wake up. The snowman background I thought was cute in January....has proved to be a bad idea. Each time I saw them....I quickly logged off. Today, I faced my fears and stayed on long enough to get rid of them and will try and remember that they are only cute one week out of the year.
