Tempting, But No…

Brat Boy was watching the NBA at my house when I got home from the meeting. I showed him an old recruiting letter I’d found while sorting through the attic.

“You ever regret not going there?” I asked.

Brat Boy shook his head. “On a warm spring day they might only get a foot of snow. I wasn’t really tempted.”

While we watched Steph Curry rain three pointers on the Trail Blazers, I thought of all the things that didn’t tempt me.

I was never tempted to eat another 10,000 calorie slice of lasagna because I hated lasagna.

I was never tempted to take a loan out to buy coffee in a place where an ‘e’ was pronounced like ‘a’.?No $15 latte grande from the cafe for me (pronounced ‘may’). ?

Most importantly, I wasn’t tempted anymore to have one more drink, get in my car, and ruin someone’s life, most likely my own.


Today I’ll be grateful for ways I’m not tempted.
