I spy joy in frosting shots

Frosting shots at Cupcake Jones

Never, until today, have I heard of frosting shots.  All I can say is, “WOW.”

Today is Treat Tuesday and our trio of treat seekers went to Cupcake Jones.  Had I any idea how delectable the frosting is on their cupcakes I would have had a shot of frosting. Alas, life is a journey and we learn as we live.  Which is to say I ordered a cupcake.  Mocha Almond Fudge.

The cupcake was pretty tasty, but the frosting was the real treat and I found myself eating it first, leaving a quarter of the cake behind entirely.

There’s a life lesson here.

Some treats are better than others. Some days are better than others. Some parts of the treat are better than others.  Some moments in the day are better than others. It’s perfectly ok to eat the frosting and leave the cake. Savor the best moments of the day and let go of the rest.

Holding on to moments, events, conversations (or cake) of the day that displease you puts unnecessary junk (calories) in your brain (on your hips) that does not serve you.

So what I’m really saying here is that everything I need to know about life I learned from a cupcake. You know, that kind of works for me.
