Potato Chips and Other Quandaries

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Referral Group Incorporated

There are things that are mindless and done without thought all the time. We breathe, we brush, we bath and generally don't even think about them. And then there are the foods we ingest without realizing it: bagels in the office, donuts at the open house or chips where we find them. None of these things count because they weren't planned and therefore not meaningful.

Business can be done by rote too. Sometimes I find myself doing without thinking, and other times I know I over think things that don't warrant any thought at all. I am not unique. Most of us have developed habits that we hold onto even when they make no sense, because....we've always done things that way. Once in awhile it is important to step away from the chips. Wonder where the dip went....? Potato chips and other quandaries.....

Oh you're making me laugh today!  My husband is  a potato chip fanatic so I know what's it's like having those buggers in the house.  I just tell myself no - to that and a lot of other stuff too.  That works most of time...but probably not on Super Bowl day!

Good evening friends and thank you for stopping by and leaving your comments and offering your support: I really appreciate it.

Hello John. Have you eaten yet? I can understand you wanting some chips....so if you haven't had any yet, go ahead....you only live once.

Hi Kathy. You made me laugh. I can't eat just one either: actually I don't know anyone who can. Go ahead, you know you want to.

Hello Anna. On Super Bowl Sunday, there is a special dispensation, so nothing you eat, even the chips count. I hope you enjoy them. For me it's chocolate....chocolate anything. Have a nice evening.

Hi Sheila, guess we can tell that your readers are fans of the snack foods!  Just like business shouldn't be done by rote...sometimes that rote eating can get us in trouble.  Just like the onslaught of goodies during the holidays need to be undone. Sigh.
