in a book titled The Best Thing I Ever Tasted, Sallie Tisdale writes a memoir about her love for food. She says, "Food fills many empty spaces. It can be symbolic, mythic, even archetypal- and nothing special. How we feel about food is how we feel about our own lives..."
today i feel remarkably grateful. For life, and for food.
On Friday night, my friend Annie and I invited our professor and his wife over for dinner. It was lovely. Their company and conversation offered both a blessing and insight. It felt joyous to share a meal with a couple who is approaching their 35th wedding anniversary. We discussed at length relational dynamics and what it means to be immersed in a culture with very reactive dating tendencies. I am grateful for their wisdom.
I am grateful for fall and sunshine.
I am grateful for friends and color and the ability to walk into the grocery store and choose what will nourish my body for the week.
