Admit it, you’re thinking a lot about food this week. Turkey, pie, sandwiches, gravy, more pie if you’re fast. Then cookies and boxed chocolates and Christmas ham and roast beast. Canapes are next, along with celebratory glasses of champagne!
Don’t worry, I’m not about to tell you to eat an apple before you head to the Thanksgiving table, or to fill your buffet plate first with salad so there’s not room for much else. This is my only injunction: Eat what you want with gratitude. Gratitude for the chef, for the earth’s bounty, for electricity to run the oven. Gratitude for the friends around you. Gratitude for being here in the year 2011. Pause and let feelings of gratefulness flow all around you like a warm mist.
Enjoy every bite. Close your eyes and say thanks.
oh yah!!!! amen
