Making Peace with Spaghetti

Pasta has gotten a bad rep. If you don't eat spaghetti for fear of the extra carbs I would advise you to please rethink your opinion. There is something extremely satisfying and romantic about a bowl of spaghetti and meatballs. You really can't go wrong. The pleasure that comes with this satisfying dish is something everyone should feel every so often.

How many things or people do we cut completely out of our lives for fear that they are not good for us? We must look at ourselves and decide why we have such an aversion to this thing. What are we so afraid of inside of ourselves that causes us not to allow ourselves to even think of having a bowl of spaghetti or whatever or whomever it is? Why do we hide from those things that tempt us or those things we don't want to define us? Perhaps the first step is avoidance but is that really where it ends? We should come right out and say "Listen spaghetti I am going to do this thing with you but it doesn't change who I am". Can't we learn from the spaghetti in our life, especially if we are able to transform our relationship with it? The things that we know in excess are unhealthy but still allow them to have their time and place can be our greatest teachers. It is our avoidance that keeps us tied to them and repeating our mistakes. When we learn to accept we can break the tie that binds and move on with our lives. We may even find a special place in our hearts for what once we avoided at all costs. How will making peace with your spaghetti change your life?
