Consequences

Didn't go walking this morning due to consequences from yesterday. Back up, I love Mexican food and I love salsa. I went to an restaurant with a "salsa bar" with all sorts of exotic salsas and it was WONDERFUL! Of course, I personally LOVE salsa and the heat and flavor but my BODY doesn't care so much for it and rebelled this morning after things ran their course. I just ain't as young as I used to be. I can handle, generally, fresh japalenos and serranos and even stronger peppers without adverse consequences. What my body declares adamantly off limits is anything spicy that has been pickled in vinegar. No bueno! Very no bueno! Anyway I was paying the price this morning for my foray into exotic salsas. Doing a bit better now. Had a great day yesterday up in Heber. Things are going well and are looking good for the company for whom I work. Our base is expanding. Went to go do visits last night. Had a great and spiritual experience with a brother who is in the hospital. Very touching. Also was able to give my baby a blessing last night prior to her try-outs for a choir today. My youngest son had his mission physical! Exciting. It's interesting how we can rationalize life with our choices, like I did yesterday. It won't be too bad, was my thought. Well, it was. Not horrible but disruptive to my routine. I can't imagine what my reaction would be when before my Savior at my judgement and I try to justify some of my choices with the idea that it wasn't going to be too bad. Anything that takes me away from here I want to ultimately be, which is with my family in God's presence, is a poor choice. Love choices, love making choices (as long as I make good ones) but where I ultimately fail to rationalize and can't, is with the consequences.
