This is my first article, so I'll try my best.

Stop worrying about tomorrow.

Seize the moment.

Every day is a gift.

Let me set the scene for you...

It's Date Night.

You're out with your man.

Your mind is racing.

You are remembering things from long ago, as you are hurtling through the fast-paced world into the future.

Every detail, every color, every sound, every smell burned into your brain.

Is he staring at my breasts? Is my top too yellow? Did I remember to feed my cats? Are the bills overdue?

Take a deep breath.

Become one with the present.

And that's what it is. It's a present. It's a gift wrapped in a bow.

So go out, and have that extra scoop of ice cream!

P.S. Here's the scoop on my favorite ice cream parlors in the world:

1) Kind Ice Cream - Richie Market, Alberta Canada

2) What's The Scoop - Whyte Avenue, Alberta Canada

3) Le P'tit Bougnat - Place des Ternes, Paris France

4) 80 Flavours Ice Cream - Gateway, Alberta Canada

5) Grandma's Beach Treats - Mosley Street, Ontario Canada

6) Marble Slab Creamery - Baseline, Alberta Canada
