Persistence
I was sitting at my desk, when one of the most adorable, quiet, sweet little kindergartners walked in with a box. Her outspoken friend announced it was her birthday as the little girl offered the box full of beautifully decorated, amazingly delicious smelling bakery cupcakes up to me. I thankfully took one of the little gems out of the box while wishing the sweet little girl a wonderful birthday and asking if she had fun plans with the family that evening. As they bounced out of the room, I set the cupcake on my desk and got back to work. Here is where the persistence comes in...I gave up sweets for lent. Here is this cupcake staring at me. The sweet, sugary smell is tantalizing me, beckoning me to eat it like the cake from
Alice in Wonderland. I mean look at it. This isn't your run of the mill, birthday cupcake. There's marshmallow topping and whip cream on this bad boy! It feels like such a waste to throw it away, so I offered it to a friend. A special thanks to Erica for enjoying this sweet treat and giving it a good home.
