I've been known to obsess over stuff that, in the scheme of things, matters little. I put way too much thought and effort in to certain, everyday functions. I know this about myself. I thought I'd share with you an example of an "overthink" that ends up not benefiting me at all.
Breakfast cereal. I love the stuff. It is one of my favorite bedtime snacks. It is one of my preferred go-to quick meals. (The Phenom would like me to explain that if, for some reason, I make it to about 2pm without eating, I turn into what Phenom describes as "the werewolf.") A bowl of cereal is the perfect way to hold that transformation at bay.
Here's my problem . . . too many choices. I'm torn, each time I wander down the cereal aisle, between the uber healthy, organic pebbles and something with colors not found in nature. There have been days I went to the store, telling myself "this time, I think I'll get a sweet cereal" only to abandon the quest when faced with the choice of fruitberries or peanut butter pops.
Most weeks, I either end up with cheerios or nothing at all. Many weeks, I just avoid the stress of the cereal aisle.
This week, I bought both Life and cheerios. I'm not so much with the soggy flakes, but like a soggy life bit. Go figure.
