I was speaking with my friend Jeanette recently~the topic now escapes me~but she mentioned how when in high school her mother said about Jeanette’s recent break-up, “I’m glad he’s gone, but I miss the pie.” (Apparently he was quite the pie-maker).
I laughed my head off and wondered who I could get to make up the teeshirts and bumper stickers!!
I mean, what a great line! How often do we hold onto something outdated because we might “miss the pie”? Whether a relationship, job, habit, or even something more mundane (maybe a comforting but useless house item?), it is so easy to let the lesser benefits keep us tied to the thing(s) out of habit.
Maybe you’ll start the website IMissThePie.com. To me, those few words just say it all! But also adds a light touch to our intentions for self-change. It makes me giggle every time I think the line.
I don’t have better words than that in this first month of a new year, so will just leave you with some photos I took of last night’s sunset near my home.
Carry on, my readers, and find your Higher Pie!
I love it! 😉
Thank you Nick! Glad you enjoyed.
Kinda reminds me a bit of the Woody Allen joke from “Annie Hall”:
“It reminds me of that old joke- you know, a guy walks into a psychiatrist’s office and says, hey doc, my brother’s crazy! He thinks he’s a chicken. Then the doc says, why don’t you turn him in? Then the guy says, I would but I need the eggs. I guess that’s how I feel about relationships. They’re totally crazy, irrational, and absurd, but we keep going through it because we need the eggs.”
Short, sweet and deeply profound! Thank you 🌹
Thanks for your comment. Barbara; glad you were struck by it!
My entire extended family and all of my friends were devastated when I broke up with a man whose family business was an ice cream factory.
Oh my gosh; that’s hilarious Carol!
