The Book “Secrets”-here is my version of it
A friend of mine called today in an absolute state because he is having such a stressful day at work and he think he should get the book everyone is talking about “Secrets” so I promised him I would buy it and then post a review on my truecrimebookreviews blogsite and then give it to him.I have no idea how this book “Secrets” is going to fit under the genre of true crime books but maybe if it very terrible then it would be a true crime that everyone has spent so much money and that some are actually following the advice given.
So I started thinking about this book and assumed that it would give the same advice of seizing today with both hands,enjoy today as if it was your last day on earth and so forth.So this is what I did. I have a leg of lamb in my freezer that I have been keeping for a special occasion that has never come around.So today,on a rainy Tuesday,no special day, I cooked my leg of lamb for myself and my two children.I also made potatoes and beans mashed together,roast potatoes,carrots which I cut into small pieces and added lemon and honey,and also some mashed pumpkin and of course the compulsory gravy (I added peas to that so I got it all nice and thick).All of this on a Tuesday evening.So that was my first exercise on seizing today and letting tomorrow worry about itself.I will be very embarassed to find out that this book “Secrets” has nothing to do with seizing today.But my little family and I absolutely enjoyed our meal and believe it or not we ate an entire leg of lamb.There are just a few slices left.I think it was a little lamb though.
And to further emphasize the “seize today” concept I had bought this leg of lamb especially because I had bought an electric knife.So I got to use my electric knife to cut the slices and I had a really good day.
So what is the moral of this story you might be asking.??
Don’t save a leg for a rainy day,have a leg on a rainy day!!!!!!!
