FOOD FOR THOUGHT

What is it that keeps us all going? Is it our hearts that beat to a rhythm of its own tune? Maybe it's the rays of the sun that beam down upon us. Are we each unique with our individuality because we were made that way or did we create that unique personality that is own? 
There is much to us that molds our character and spirit. So many factors in the world around us play a role in being the "Me" that we become. We nourish our minds, spirit and body with foods of all kinds. Some foods from early as a baby, soothe us like suckling the milk from our mother's breast or from a bottle. Others are comfort foods that just make us feel happy such as chocolate. Why do we need to pleasure ourselves in such a manner. Do we proclaim to have a love for food or is it eating? Just eating can be dangerous, but eating for life can make our lives rich is wondrous indeed. 
Can we balance our lives with food for the body and for the soul? I believe we can! Just take time to think wisely before you indulge in your fantasy to have whatever you think pleases you. Ask yourself, is this really what I need? Is this good for me? Recognizing the difference between what we want and what we need is critical to our overall well being. If we take this in as "Food For Thought", we most certainly will have engaged in an exercise worthwhile.
