I don’t want to work right now…
I am having one of those “terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad” days where nothing ACTUALLY terrible is happening, but everything feels like its falling apart. I am the extra clumsy version of myself. I can’t manage to keep water in a cup, my food on a plate (my white t-shirt is a monument to this inability.) I am interacting with people that are A) incredibly constipated, B) schizophrenic, C) water-heads. Sigh. I could keep whining but that seems counterproductive to my shiny new plan: being positive, smiling often and trying hard to be happy where I am, with who I am. It’s been hard today…I guess that is what my purpose in writing this is. It’s. Been. Fucking. Hard. But I remain steadfast in my desire to be the pleasant person I want to be. So I got to thinking: “What makes me happy?” “What brings me joy?” As I compiled the list in my head, I focused on the small details that bring me joy—a good book, a bath, a hike, cheese. Over the weekend, I created a delicious late-night snack that brings me TONS of joy.I figured I would share just in case you are also having a “terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad” day. I wanted to include photos of the recipe and the final product but, as the title makes clear, I don’t want to work right now…
Joyful Frogurt Concoction
Ingredients:
Trader Joe’s (or similar) Non-fat Plain Frozen Yogurt
1 Frozen banana
2 tbsp peanut butter
Pinch of Cinnamon
Cover the bottom of your favorite bowl with peanut butter. I am not a huge PB fan but Anthony likes crunchy so for this recipe go with what you feel. Once you’ve created the peanut butter layer, add the frozen banana, cut in slices. Grind a bit of cinnamon on top of this delectable layer. Now for the greatest element of my creation: FROGURT. Add whatever amount is most pleasing to you. Grind a bit more cinnamon for flair and enjoy!
Seriously, this is most delicious. Drop whatever you are doing and go purchase the ingredients and make this. Your mouth and overall well-being will thank you (me.) I’ve learned that, for me, it truly is the simple things that make me happiest. And in the future, when my day is terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad, I will be better about reflecting upon the details.
