I'd ratherNov 06 2009 06:51
I'd rather talk about monster-movie cats- hiss! Cats going bonkers cause of the greedy sparrows feeding right outside the window. I'd rather forget the hell going on in Fort Hall. I'd rather forget PTSD. I'd rather forget that daughter has not contacted me since Oct. 29th. First time ever, we did not exchange Samhain greetings. I'd rather forget that my weight is up.
Sure a lot of I hate this food and that food on these forums lately. Don't like marshmallowy sweet potatoes? Try just roasting a sweet tator/yam and eat it naked. Nothing on it but its sweet essence. Naked. And be grateful you have food to loathe. Be grateful for that. Hubby reminded me the other day of the hamburger pot pie we had that first Christmas back from Idaho. We were invited out but we needed to be Family to ourselves, eating our pot pie. We were shell shocked and grateful we'd made it out of the fire. I was angry and grieving for a cat who did not make it. And taking care of an orphan Birman cat that popped up out of the snow just as we were leaving.
So I have gotten rid of some I'd Rathers. Not sure if that was an emotional heave or what. I am grateful for the Q. Pup snoring on the rug. She is shedding another 50 pounds of fur. Still here. I protect her cause it does not take much to get her limpy. I feel a bit of guilt cause I hear basically this side of broken hip and knee action when she walks- without a pill, she'd be in doggy heaven. Should I play God and take her to the Vet.? She still loves her food and still can skip around when she is in the mood- the miracles of drugs. I am, like I said, grateful for her. She's a good old dog. A Sandwich Stealer from Way Back! I am grateful for new CC friends. And I am amazed that this latest friend wants to be my friend- wow!! a person who runs. Who has that capability. The last time I did jumping jacks in the pool I ended up spending big bucks at a chiropractors- running would kill me. More power to anyone who can get up and go without paying for it. Yes! Got to love ya.
Heh, I posted to a love/hate food thread - cause we all know what I love and fact is, as many times as I try to like eggplant, well I don't. Blech. If that's all that was left on the planet to eat, I guess I'd be grateful for it, but I wouldn't have to like it. |
i don't run much. LOL i'm afraid i might get hurt. you know, you can do jumping jacks without jumping! :D you can just sit or stand & do punches or twists. anything goes. there are no rules. i hate alot of foods, too, but i sure do appreciate food more now that i don't live to eat & i eat to live instead. ;) i sure do love alot of foods, too! |
So funny that you would comment on the love/hate food posts, because that was *exactly* my thought when I read through it. Really? That's what you think of when you think about Thanksgiving? How disgusting sweet potato & green bean casseroles are? "Then prepare them differently!" I wanted to say. Whatever happened to looking forward to the holiday because you get to spend time with family that you rarely see, or take time out of life to be grateful. I guess my take is really different. Thanksgiving & Christmas are some of my favorite times of year because I get to enjoy just BEING with my family (and my husband's family) without stressing that there isn't enough time, that driving there is too far, that we have to leave because tomorrow's a workday. |
