I really don't have a "Hissy Fit" about my Jello...

But I could. I wish that they would take my zero calorie Jello yogurt. They eat everything but, my zero calorie jello. That is what makes me upset. They do what I did, instead of what I am trying to do. I am trying to be healthy and I want them to be also. We'll see.
The point is that I would have a hissy fit, everyday, if it would make them as consistent about doing the right thing as I am about eating chocolate. I was impulsive about it then and I am still struggling with it now. In spite of intense pressure to discipline me against it.
Jack is right. Having a cow about it doesn't work. Getting upset about it doesn't work. It just discourages the person for life.










Psalm of the day,*************************************************Psalm 119;25-32~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~He+++++++++++++++++++ Teach me, O Lord, the way of Your statutes, and I shall keep it to the end. Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your law; Indeed I shall observe it with my whole heart. Make me walk in the path of Your commandments, For I delight in it. Incline my heart to Your testimonies and not to covetousness. Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, and revive me in Your way. Establish Your word to Your servant, who is devoted to fearing You. Turn away my reproach which I dread for Your judgments are good. Behold, I long for Your precepts;revive me in Your righteousness

    Hi Jayne,
    Can you tell me do you have a Trader Joes Down There? it has this Belgian Chocolate that I have been eating and thinking of you with every bite. it's so goon with Almonds that I think it could be considered medicinal (LOL) I'd love to treat you. What I think of when I read this post is how melded our likes are. I love chocolate even more because you like it so much ~ There is something to this. That the children loving what you love is in some way a form of loving you Well let me know if you think this is a stretch Just a thought...
    Love you,
    Joanne

    Yes Jack, We are supposed to be teaching the children to be selfless. This is mine, mine, mine, shouldn't be part of the family way. That is what we are trying to get away from. Thanks for the advise. Hope you come to visit. It is beautiful down here.
