I Thought to Myself

After my 7:11 meeting last night, I thought I'd do quick shopping for Walmart milk ... and cereal.  Passing by the convenient McDonald's restaurant inside, I thought to myself, "Fast food could energize me till dinner at nine."

Yes, I did think I enjoyed the dollar cheeseburger, as usual (3 of 5 stars.)

Then I thought to myself about the work that lay ahead of me (editing books.)  The mountains of Halloween candy started looking like power snacks, I thought.  Besides, I've always thought a bag of Fun-Size M&Ms Peanut would be perfect for treating kids in costumes.

Having bought the bag of M&Ms, I really don't think it will last till the end of the month.  Since shopping, the thought has gone through my mind, "Peanuts are a healthy source of nutrients. That's what I need – fast!"

Good thing I thought to check the web:
"Your Heart Will Go Nuts for Peanuts
Peanuts are good sources of vitamin E, niacin, folate, protein and manganese. In addition, peanuts provide resveratrol, the phenolic antioxidant also found in red grapes ..."  – whfoods.com
[On the Internet, so I'm thinkin' it must be true!]

I get a lot out of thinking to myself, in contrast to thinking – especially when "I think to myself, what a wonderful world."
(Think Louis ... and thank God for trees, skies, friends, and babies.)
