When You Know Better

 Well, chalk another one up to "I knew better."

I mentioned that hubby took a sick day yesterday.

Then he was sweet and wanted to have a little date that evening.

He loves a good coffee and I will join him for a tea of some sort.

But our coffee shop was out of my favorite tea ...

and there was the "Apple Crisp Macchiato."

There are nothing like the flavors of fall - apple, pumpkin spice -

and they all go perfectly with coffee.

Surely just this once in 3 months would be ok - 

decaf - coconut milk - only 2 pumps of syrup instead of 3 ...

but "no," I spent the evening tossing and turning and taking surveys until 12:30 am.

The little caffeine, especially in the evening, just didn't work.

...And I knew better.

While the coffee was phenomenal, it was not worth it!

Isn't that the way with many of our decisions?

We think that surely this once we won't face the consequences.

Sometimes there is grace and mercy - 

but is it worth it?

Why not just do right?

What decision are you mulling over today?

Are you trying to get away with something?

Is there something you know you should give up ... completely?

Stop stifling your good progress!

Just let it go!
