Best Medicine

You know the drill. Can't sleep; anxious; worried about everything that matters and everything that doesn't. Your head hurts, you feel depressed and sad and wonder how in the world you're going to get through all of your challenges...alive. You think about exercising....but realize you wouldn't want to do anything stupid in such a time of crisis. You try to watch TV, but the only thing on is a new episode of Women Behind Bars...not exactly inspirational material for this kind of mood. Then you realize that you have Betty Crocker on your side; she's right there, waiting for you inside your pantry. Even though it's late and the kids are all tucked away in bed, you decide that Betty is the only one who can make you feel better, right here, right now. You make a delicious chocolate cake for yourself all smothered in chocolate frosting. Why the heck not? We spend all day, everyday, taking care of other people and forget that we exist until after 10:30 pm. So...at this late hour, the only time I ever get just to myself, I am going to enjoy the cake I made just for me. MMMMMMM....DELISH!! It's amazing how chocolate can wipe away life's worries, and even if it's only for a few minutes, it's well worth it!!
