This morning (at 4:15) as I fed my 6-month-old great nephew, I watched his little face as he enthusiastically sucked on his bottle. I stroked the little hairs around his temple and kissed him gently. As I held him close, I felt only love.
I wonder if our earliest eating experiences are memory-stamped in our beings. If so, it's no wonder that we associate food and eating with love and intimacy.
Today I'm asking myself what I'm really hungry for. Rather than a chocolate chip cookie, I suspect I'm really hungry for love and emotional intimacy. As you know, that's not carried at Publix so today I'm exploring ways to make me full that don't include a fork or spoon.
I'll keep you posted.
By the way, I kept all my commitments yesterday. I will make those same commitments today.
What about you? What are you really hungry for?
