I truly love it), I am beside myself in gleeful anticipation for the new Tim Burton movie, <strong><em>Alice In Wonderland<\/em><\/strong>, which is, of course, is based on Lewis Carroll&#8217;s class book &#8220;Alice&#8217;s Adventures in Wonderland&#8221; written in 1865, almost 150 years ago! It is the story of a little girl by the name of Alice, who falls down the rabbit hole.  Her adventures begin as she meets many a character along the way.  The Mad Hatter, The Queen of Hearts, The Caterpillar, The Dutchess to name a few.The Cheshire Cat is one of my favorite characters.  The following conversation between the Alice and the Cheshire Cat is one that I often chew on!  In all its madness, it rings true and gives me much food for thought.Alice:  &#8220;Which road do I take?&#8221; The Cheshire Cat: &#8220;Where do you want to go?&#8221; Alice: &#8220;I don&#8217;t know.&#8221;The Cheshire Cat:  &#8220;Then, it doesn&#8217;t matter.&#8221;If you don&#8217;t know where you are going, any road will get you there.&#8221; And so now, I ask you &#8230; What road will you take?  Do you know where you are going?<strong>More food for thought:<\/strong>Downloadable, printable:  <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/ourladyofweightloss\/2009\/12\/10-commandments-of-holiday-wei.html\">10 Commandments of Holiday Weight Loss<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/ourladyofweightloss\/2009\/12\/food-addict.html\">Food Addict? 6 steps out<\/a>!<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/ourladyofweightloss\/2009\/12\/slim-fast-recall-b-cereus.html\">Slim Fast RECALL<\/a>!Spread the word &#8230; NOT the icing!Janice________________________________Does your weight loss chart look like an EKG?In need of a coach? <a href=\"mailto:janice@ourladyofweightloss.com\">Write Janice<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Follow Janice on <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/OurLady\">Twitter<\/a> and\/or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/home.php#\/profile.php?sid=d82081eb96fa8033ec096ad6ccfd2b0a&amp;id=557881698&amp;hiq=janice%2Ctaylor\">Facebook<\/a>! <\/p>\n<p>Join the <a href=\"http:\/\/community.beliefnet.com\/kick_in_the_tush_club\"><strong>Our Lady of Weight Loss&#8217;s Kick in the Tush Club<\/strong><\/a>: <a class=\"zem_slink\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Beliefnet\" title=\"Beliefnet\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Beliefnet<\/a> Chapter.<\/p>\n<p>Visit:  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourladyofweightloss.com\">www.OurLadyofWeightLoss.com<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.janicetaylorliving.com\">www.JaniceTaylorLiving.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alice asked, &#8220;Which road do I take?&#8221; The Cheshire Cat answered, &#8220;Where do you want to go?&#8221; Alice said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know.&#8221; &#8220;Then,&#8221; said the Cheshire cat, &#8220;it doesn&#8217;t matter.
