grateful




Having to cook yet another meal doesn't sit especially high at the top of the list of things I love to do. Sure, cooking is fun & I enjoy it ... but not when it's a matter of battling against a clock that doesn't seem to have enough hours on it and the kids just need to eat.
This pot of very watery soup, particularly low on veggies or anything else especially nutritious, was a sobering reminder of just how incredibly fortunate I am to have a kitchen full of healthy & nutritious food to cook with. No matter how little time there is to prepare a meal, or how tired I am at the end of another long day, I am so grateful to have a variety of nutritious foods to choose from.
We should be doing all we can to see that everyone is so fortunate.
