I was driving home this morning from getting breakfast, when I had this really powerful thought. I could not believe the relief it provided. It all started last night. I stayed up a bit late and watched a movie called Sunshine, directed by Danny Boyle. The movie is about a group of astronauts in the future who are on a mission to save Earth by rejuvenating the dying Sun. It was loaded with mesmerizing visuals of the Sun and space (I watched it in Blu-ray so that helped).

The other day I opened my fridge to find a surprise random piece of cheesecake from my in-laws. I looked at it, thought about tasting it, and then passed. I am trying to cut out as much refined sugar from my diet as possible, and a cheesecake definitely doesn’t fit the bill. I searched the rest of the fridge, hoping to find something healthier to snack on. Unsuccessful, I looked back at the cheesecake. The way it was cut, it had a small piece sticking off of it. I rationalized that the little small piece is no big deal. All I was doing was tasting the cake. I quickly grabbed a fork, happy with my rationalization, and nipped off the piece.
