Showing Original Post only (View all)Every time I open my refrigerator, *every time*....... [View all]
.......I am reminded how incredibly fortunate I am to live where I live and have a decent job. I can afford to have good, lean meats and fresh fish and a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. Don't get me wrong, there is also chocolate pudding and a few ice cream bars in there, too. I'm not a nun, after all!
But I'm also reminded of all the people who aren't nearly so lucky. That keeps me spending two Saturdays a month at the Resource Center, which also reminds me of my good fortune.
Just feeling mellow and wanted to mention it. And to wish everyone on DU a great weekend.
Peace.

I often think how blessed I am. Heat in the winter, all the food we want, great water.

Not only do I have plenty of food in the refrigerator, I'm appalled at how much of it goes to waste.

I feel rich when I open a fabulous jar of food that I preserved from organic sources.
