Picking Up More than Food Tips

09/12/2009

I may have mentioned here a few thousand times how much I enjoy being in the kitchen.  Cooking is therapeutic for me.  I enjoy watching the food network almost as much as spending time in the kitchen.

Not too terribly long ago I watched a Food Network show, and as luck or old age would have it I cannot for the life of me remember the name of the show, but it may have been Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.  Anyway, someone asked some guy “How are you?” His answer immediately was implanted somewhere in the deep recesses of my cerebellum or medulla oblongata and I have not forgotten it and use it often.  He said, “If I were any better I would have to run backwards to keep from flying.”

It’s mine now.  It is so cool.  When I use it I can see people are taken aback by it.  It does not register or resonate with them; they just don’t get it.

I make a valiant attempt to make people understand how they feel about a day, how they feel about themselves, how they feel about the world and life solely depends on their attitude toward it.  Mine is perfect, I think.

My granddaughter taught me about “The Best Day Ever,” and I have declared everyday since to be just that.  The Nancy uses it, as well.  It is how we begin each day, and it works just by declaring it so.  Yep!  It is truly that easy.

If I were any better I’d be twins.  If fact, if it gets any better I will have to run backwards just to keep from flying.  This is the best day ever.  It’s just another day in Paradise.  And it sure as hell doesn’t hurt that it is a Saturday.

And that is all I have to say about that…
