Storytime: Egg Decisions


Self Declared story time Monday again!! Ok let’s story time it.

Storytime:
One day Sally Smiles was walking down the street, smiling of course, feeling blessed about the way her life was going. She just felt like she  was in a really great place, life was rocking. So there Sally Smiles was, walking down the street, coming back from the neighbours farm where she had just picked up a carton of eggs, like so…

“La la la la,” she was singing and carrying the eggs, smiling away, life was good for Sally Smiles. And then out of nowhere, Sally tripped a little bit, dropping the entire egg carton but luckily only one of the eggs dropped out of the carton. Horror struck Sally Smiles heart when she looked down and saw the broken egg lying on the road…


The egg was ruined. Sally Smiles stopped smiling. Sally Smiles stared crying actually. She looked down at the egg carton and the remaining eggs...


Instead of seeing all the good eggs she still had left that had not been ruined, all she saw was a huge blaring hole. Sally Smiles immediately allowed herself to wallow in self pity as she walked a bit further down the road, continually thinking about how bad she had messed up by letting one egg fall. Then she stopped walking. Then Sally Smiles went a little psycho and threw a crazy dramatic hissy fit and smashed the rest of the eggs on the road as well..


Sally Smiles thought, for some crazy reason, that since she tripped and ruined one of the eggs from the carton, that the rest of the eleven remaining eggs must also be ruined. Instead of getting back to her house grateful to have 11 good eggs, she got back to her house with 0 eggs.

Storytime Statement:
If you trip and stumble a bit in life, making one bad decision, you then get to decide if you will let the rest of your decisions reflect that one bad decision as well or if you will step up and work harder to ensure that you don’t trip again.

**Sidenote** 30 Days of Summer Dresses officially ends today. Check back next week for that adventure!
