The Good things in Life

Frozen yogurt is a decisive person's paradise. When someone says, "We are going to get froyo, are you in?" I don't know what happens to you but my eyes light up like the first time I went to Disneyland. Stepping in through the glass doors is a nostalgic experience. Do I run straight to the all familiar, but always exciting, space mountain or do I satisfy all of my senses with the titillating Indiana Jones (I kid you not, every time I see that boulder coming straight for us, for a brief second, I panic and truly wonder how we will escape)? You see, I could easily grab the biggest cup and fill it to the brim with blueberry and strawberry and call myself content, but what about the side of me that wants to explore?
I am a decisive person, so in this frozen land of indecision (for most) I should be thankful that I know what I want. What do I want you ask? Simple: blueberry, strawberry, pomegranate, with fresh bananas, strawberries and never . . . NEVER without gummy bears. Most people hate gummy bears in their frozen yogurt, "they get hard and you have to chew them to soften them up" they say. To that. . . I completely agree! What in life is worth enjoying if it doesn't provide some resistance to the norm right? But then you must always consider what you have passed up . . . space mountain is an everyday thrill!
So I encourage those who are indecisive to pursue what you want -- even if that means mango mango with chocolate cheese cake and lima beans on top -- never settle for anything less. For all, I say every now and then step out of what you know and what is comfortable and go on an adventure of flavor. Life is flavorful.
