Food!


I LOVE to eat! Chuck LOVES to eat! In fact he tends to rate our vacations, trips, - well life in general according to the food we had... "Rememeber the trip to Canada and the fantastic creme broulee in Banff?" Yeah...

I am grateful to have sufficient food to maintain a strong and healthy body. Immaculee weighed 130 pounds before and 65 pounds after her ordeal (see previous post). And I start today,the school version of "Biggest Loser". Obviously, I have more than enough to maintain my body and in fact need to work to make it healthier.

So anyway, in spite of being a glutton, I AM grateful for food. I am also grateful that I can partake of most any food I wish (liver and onions? No thanks!) Whereas, my mom, sister and brother have had serious limitations put on what they can eat because they are gluten intolerant (not to be confused with glutton - I think they still like me even though I can eat what they can't). Do you KNOW how many things have flour or been in contact/contaminated by it?!? Not fair.

"One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating."

I love to eat too. I really like the quote you listed as well. I am very grateful that I have food to eat everyday...and any food that I want really. We are so lucky!
