A Sometimes Food

The Dose was once blessed by the kindness of a widow. 

This widow took me in while I was between selling and buying a home. 

My living quarters were a bedroom, a study, a private bath, and a walk-in closet. 

We shared a large kitchen and I had my own refrigerator… so did she! 

She was a dietitian, so I learned from her. 

Her favorite treat was frozen yogurt, which I would fetch when the mood struck us both. She referred to this treat as a “sometimes food.” How could I disagree with a dietitian? 

Well, there came a time when I found myself driving to that yogurt shop on more than “a sometime” frequency.

This got me thinking… at what point did this sometime food become an always food? 

Habits have a way of creeping into our lives regardless of who we are. 

Habit development slowly tiptoes around us to alter our mindset – whether for good or bad. 

Outcomes from a habit lead us to change the sometime to always or always to sometime. 

Just remember, it can’t be both!
