Tasting the goodness of life


Without a doubt, I'm the kind of person (type A personality) who loves the feeling of accomplishment, whether it's creating something or checking things off my to-do list. Though in some ways, this is good. The part that isn't is the push I give myself when I do it. It's almost like there's a steam roller inside me....Yikes!
 
For instance, I decided to make a raw chocolate raspberry cake today along with pumpkin pancakes for breakfast. I'm happy to say my joy in cooking is slowing reappearing again after months of burn-out. What I noticed about myself that I need to work on is my tendency to be so busy accomplishing my task that I forget the joy of the experience, and most importantly, savoring the taste of my efforts.
