Sometimes, we just need a little treat.

When it comes to what I eat, I am generally fairly strict with myself. I try to eat as well and as healthy as we can manage, and to not eat much sugar. Most everyone loves sweets, I know. I am not a big candy person, so that helps. But every great once in a while, a little dessert tastes so good. We did have a hard week. At several points, it was downright depressing, but I won't get into that here. When we got home from a long and drawn-out day at the hospital clinic, we were just ready for some type of treat. One thing my kids all really love is Mom's brownies. I hadn't made them in a long time, but I did this evening. OH, they tasted so, so good. I had all the ingredients. I must admit I made them a bit more ''chocolatey'' than usual. I smiled. Son smiled. Tomorrow we will share some with the neighbor with the broken leg and put a few in the freezer for a future day. They were such a treat! Do you ever make or buy a treat just because...well, because spirits need to be lifted? It was worth the extra mess.
