Life got really tough this week.
My sister died. Various other complicated situations arose. I won't go into details. I have a sense that many of you out there have incredible challenges too.
Old me would have shopped for the pacifiers in the frozen sugary aisle or stopped at the golden arches. New me , although not really hungry, bought containers of food from the salad bar, slowly ate the peppers, cucumber, spinach, tomatoes and chicken in a quiet spot on my back porch.
I have a special appreciation for the choices available to me when I shop.It makes it easier to cope. I know that salad bar foods are not an option if you have a big family to feed but hope all of you have some "fall back" options.
I will be back cooking stuff for the freezer later on or ripping open my cans of albacore tuna or salmon.
Thank you Kathleen and everyone for ongoing support and advice.
