No, I am not giving away any boxes of mints, the title of this blog post refers to the quote for this week and I am linking it also to Art Journal Journey where Valerie has the theme "Spring Goddess".
"It was a lovely Spring day and the two friends had met up for a drink at a little coffee shop just by the Park off the High Street.
"What on earth are you wearing those sunglasses for?" asked Belinda of Samantha.
"They are new", said Sam, "I treated myself to some rose coloured glasses in the hope that the world would look a lot better place."
"What on earth is the matter?" said Belinda, sounding quite concerned that something drastic had happened in the life of her friend Sam. "Surely things cannot be that bad."
"Well, you know what they say, life is so much better if looked at through rose coloured spectacles, and so I thought maybe I too would look better if I wore them. The only trouble is, when I put them on and saw my reflection in a shop window I did not look any better and I am so upset, so very upset."
"What on earth are you talking about?" asked Belida, "there is nothing wrong with the way you look, you look just the same as you did last week."
"That's the trouble" replied Sam, "I just ate four boxes of thin mints. ... not feeling thin though"
"You did what?" asked Belinda, "You ate four boxes of thin mints and expect to lose weight? You silly old sausage, they will either make you put more weight on, or if they were covered in chocolate will give you spots. If you are serious about losing weight why not join the local Slimming Club, look if you want I will come along with you."
"Really?" asked Sam, "You would do that for me?"
"Yes" said Belinda, "You are my best friend and that's what best friends do for one another."
And with that the two girls walked off arm in arm and continued with their shopping. (Sam left her biscuit and milky coffee on the table.)
