> i ate every single blueberry in a 750 gram box and not a single one was sour or bad
this got a lot more attention than I anticipated so I will tell you my secret. You too can be one of God's chosen
I did not eat all 750g of blueberries in a single sitting. as with all things related to creating your own luck, attention and timing are everything
i ate the fattest blueberries immediately, because when the universe hands you opportunities it wants you to take them
i put purple or small blueberries aside in a cup, as well as any blueberries i could have eaten but was not immediately excited about. do only things that spark joy!
originally I thought I would toss most of them, but I kept them around to see what would happen (read: I am very slow to tidy up my kitchen)
over the next day or two, I realized that some of the blueberries I'd thought were too purple to salvage had ripened into a nice blue, and i ate those. they were delicious!
and later, at the very end of the bowl, I took a chance on the tiny ones and ate them one by one, bracing myself for a sour pucker. Every single one was sweet. God rewards those who do things with attention!
seize opportunity when it's ripe; have the patience to shelve your plans when conditions don't feel right; but give those plans a chance to ripen later. pay attention and trust the universe to deliver serendipity to your door. sometimes being less than perfectly orderly and having a bit of mess around can serve you. eat more blueberries
