Philosophical Cookies

Ha!  What a great thought!

If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, did it make noise?

If no one was around to blog about "IT", did "IT" happen?

If no one knows that you reached out to help someone in need, does it count? Do you get credit at the pearly gates?

Does a rainbow exist if no one sees it?

Do numbers really exist? Can you buy into the whole "to infinity" thing!?

Does this blog exist if no one reads it?

If no one sees you eat those cookies, that hot fudge sundae, that leftover pizza, do the calories count?

The answer must be no! Right? If you can't see it, surely it doesn't exist. Right? After all, isn't that what some people claim when it comes to the debate of whether God exists or not?

Goodness gracious! I've certainly meandered into a very philosophical area this morning without really intending to!

For the sake of a short post (and goodness knows if you want real answers to those questions you can find resources much more reliable than little ole me) I'll just sum it up as follows.

It's been heard. It counts. The colors are glorious. The numbers add up and keep on going. You can certainly bet those "secret" calories will make their appearance, most likely where you least desire it.

My two cents...if its real to you - if it's in your heart, mind and soul - then that's what counts.  All the way to infinity.
