Cheese

Today is National Cheese Day.

If it feels like we’ve already had one of these this year, that’s understandable. National Cheese Lover’s Day was on January 20.

National Cheese Day and National Cheese Lover’s Day celebrate different things. One is about the food, and the other is about those of us who eat the food.

Regardless of semantics, the point is: Cheese. And that, as Martha Stewart would say, is a Very Good Thing.

Except for when you eat too much of the cheese, which is, I know, a difficult concept to understand. As Ralph Wiggum from the Simpsons might say, “Too much cheese? That’s unpossible!”

Unfortunately, Ralph, it is possible. So, it’s best that we take a measured approach to cheese eating. Today’s cuppa is a friendly reminder of what can happen if we don’t.

But – life is short. Let’s love each other and love ourselves. Let’s create moments of happiness. Let’s celebrate the things, all the things, big and small, significant and silly, that bring delight and make us smile.

And so, today, I say: Eat the cheese.
