Moderation People

I know how it gets ... THE GUILT.
It appears far, far, far to often in our lives.
Did I make that clear (far to often)?
I'm confident you know what I mean.

If not, let me explain...

The feeling that you need to be spending your time more righteously...
such as reading your Scriptures instead of "Twilight".
Been there, done that.




The feeling that you need to be as good as the mom is across the street...
such as fixing steak for dinner instead of Lynn Wilson Burritos.
Been there, done that.





The feeling that your free time needs to be better spent...
such as watching "The Spoken Word" instead of "Everybody Loves Raymond".
Been there, done that.




The feeling that you should never think of yourself...
such a getting your haircut more than once every four months.
Been there, DOING that.

FYI - This is me after Jeff "highlighted" by brown hair. Ummm, yeah. Not recommended.


Okay... I think I got my point across.

Well, this morning I had an EPIPHANY. I was on my morning walk, jamming out the the music Tyson so lovingly put on my i-pod (no, he won't teach me how to do it... would take far to much time) and the thought came to me...


"This walk would not be as effective if I were listening to The Mormon Tabernacle Choir singing 'I Believe in Christ' (which I definitely do, 'believe') ."


At that moment I realized that we need to have

MODERATION IN ALL THINGS.



So gone are the days of feeling guilty for listening to Bowling for Soup (ummm yeah, it's a group) sing about my past in "1985".




Gone are the days of feeling guilty as I cool down while laughing my head off to Adam Sandler's "Hanuka Song".

(I'm sorry but it's one of my favorites ... but not as much as "I Believe in Christ".)



Okay, so you get it the idea. If you want to be happy LET GO OF THE GUILT, my people!! Sit down and read "Twilight". Make Lynn Wilson Burritos for dinner tonight. Watch "Everybody loves Raymond". Go for a jam out walk. And, for heaven's sake, get your haircut (I just made an appointment) !

Even our good friend and Prophet, Pres. Hinckley said...
"In all of living have
much love and laughter
life is to be enjoyed,

not just endured."

Oh, and just for fun ...
"The Hanuka Song" is playing for your GUILT FREE enjoyment!

Happy Day and TAKE THE POLL!

(The poll has ended but 71% admitted they suffer from "guilt".)

Okay, have I not been preaching "moderation"? Then why in the world did I just eat an ENTIRE cantaloupe while writing this post??!! I'm completely serious!!



It's a hard lesson to learn. Repeat with me,
"Moderation, Moderation, Moderation... "
