I've finally got up the nerve to write to you about this "off-the-wall" topic. One of my favourite hobbies is baking, especially banana breads. For quite some time - about a year now - I have been too busy to find the time to do this, or so I've told myself. I always have lots of bananas on hand, and every day when I go into the kitchen I look at them and say "tomorrow I'll find some time". When tomorrow comes I say the same thing and the next day and so on... you get the picture. It's called procrastination.
What I end up doing is putting them in the fridge. Every day, they are a reminder of what I love doing but I never find the time to do and again I say "tomorrow or maybe on the weekend". At this point I am getting really mad at myself for not baking that bread.
But it gets worse. They start rotting and I move them to the freezer. My mom told me this trick. When I go into the freezer, there they are again, staring at me - rotten bananas! By now I have bananas in my freezer that are over six months old!
In deciding to write to you about this, I finally found the motivation to bake that bread, and now I can share with you the joy I felt when I did. I felt really happy when I baked it - as if I just got an A+ on an exam, or had my first date! From then on, I made a promise to never keep rotten bananas again. Finding the time to do what I've always intended to do by making my banana bread - even if it means a few extra pounds for me - made me very happy!
