Hold on to your fork Honey, there's pie.

This young man I know was telling me a story about a waitress he encountered on his travels.  He was very descriptive to the point I could picture this woman who, he reported, could have been 30 or 65 with a Parliament cigarette dangling from her hand.  He said she leaned in to him and said "Hang on to your fork honey, there's pie".  Whatever it was, something about that line struck me.  Hold on to your fork honey, there's pie.

In some senses, can't you look at life this way?  Life really is what you make it.  And if you make it about dinner only then what fun is that?  I don't know about you, but when I go out to eat, I look forward to eating dessert.  I love dessert.  Strawberry Shortcake or Creme Brulee.  I like knowing when I go out to eat, there's something extra special to which to look forward.  I kind of look to life like that too.  You need to have the something special in life.  There needs to be more than  just going to work, going home doing chores, pay bills, and all the other mundane tasks we have on a day to day basis.  Life isn't just about all that stuff.  It's about going to play, having fun, doing the things you enjoy because life isn't just about the main course of dinner.  It's about making sure you have dessert too.  Sure you can't have dessert every day, but you can make sure you incorporate it in your world.  How dull would life be if we only ate chicken every day?  Pretty dull.  So honestly people, hold on to your fork, because there's pie....in other words people don't throw away your life on mundane tasks....there's fun and joy to be had.  Make mine a strawberry shortcake with whip cream and let's add some walnuts for fun.  YUM.   So count me in people.  I've got my fork and one for you too because life really is so much better when you share dessert and it's too short to go without.
