Three Things Challenge #MM510

DIET • DRIBBLE • DALLY

There are certain words that immediately make me suspicious.

Diet is one of them. 😂

It usually begins with the best intentions.

Tomorrow I’ll eat healthier.

Then tomorrow arrives, the coffee is poured, someone mentions cake, and suddenly the diet has been rescheduled for an unspecified date.

I prefer balance.

Eat the salad.

Enjoy the chocolate cake.

Life is too short to spend it arguing with dessert.

Then there’s dribble.

Coffee dribbling down the side of the mug is acceptable.

Trying to dribble a basketball before I’ve had that coffee?

Probably dangerous for everyone involved. 😂

And dally?

Oh, I can dally with professional skill.

Give me a cup of coffee, something interesting to read, music playing in the background, and absolutely no urgent reason to move…

I’ll be there quite happily.

Maybe not every day needs to be about discipline, productivity, and rushing toward the next thing.

Sometimes we should dally.

Enjoy the coffee.

Eat the cake.

And let someone else dribble the basketball.

The diet can start tomorrow.

…probably.

    Good take Maggie. So agree with ‘balance’. Besides, diet is a four letter word, CAKE or FOOD. Thanks for joining in.
