Fresh Start
“That didn’t work, nor this,” Nancy said striking out rows on her list.
A friend called. “How’s the dieting going?”
“What dieting?” Nancy answered.
“I’ve started,” April said. “No carbs. Only healthy eating.”
Nancy sighed. “What’s the point? You’ll be packing on pounds at Valentine’s, then Easter. Why start now?”
“It’s a new year, Nancy. I’m overweight. So are you.”
“I’d rather be happily plump.”
“You still have time before the next new year if you start planning now. Chinese New Year starts on February 8th.”
“I love Chinese. Won’t see me starving at a Dim Sum.”
“Neither will I.”From Guest Contributor Krystyna Fedosejevs
