1 . Make every meal mindful. Even if you don’t have a lot of time to cook, take time to enjoy the meal. Be mentally present and appreciate the different flavors and textures. Avoid eating in front of the television or computer.
2. Schedule one or two leisurely meals during the week. Make the meal your and your family’s priority. This can be a great time to get the kids involved; children are more likely to try new foods when they are involved.
3 . Think moderation. If you overindulge at every meal, you will end up feeling sluggish. Think about the foods you really enjoy and work them into your overall healthy eating plan.
Giving up doesn't always mean you are weak sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.
"You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions."
No need for revenge - Just sit back and wait...those that hurt you will eventually screw up all by themselves ...and if you are lucky, you will be able to watch.
"No one can go back and make a brand new start, however anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending."
"I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge; That myth is more potent than history; That dreams are more powerful than facts; That hope always triumphs over experience; That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death."
Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and discover they were the big things.
Holding onto anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

Howdy Dad ,
ReplyDeleteYour post on Julia Child is really nice ... I didn't realize she died 10 years ago .
I do so agree with Julia ... when eating ... moderation is the key , better to eat 5 small meals that 3 large meals ... unless you are a growing kid that gets lots of exercise .
Thank you so much Dad for just being you .
Your only daughter
Daughter ,
DeleteThank you so very much and yes it has been 10 years . Julia make a lot of good points , I do so think people tuned into her show to watch her eating out of pots and pans and eating from the trays with her hands .
Daughter , I will always be here for you My daughter you have gave me so many years of happiness and some great grandkids , what more could I ask for ? I know , more food (laughing my butt off).
Hi HB,
ReplyDeleteNice little tribute to Julia. She was quite a character but her food was always delicious. Moderation in all things is the key to good health and contentment. Good advice and good words of wisdom.
The butterflies are gorgeous and I love the 'wonderful day' gif.
Thanks HB
Love and hugs

Butterfly ,
DeleteThank you ever so kindly . Yes Julia was a character and fun to watch , I cannot agree with you about her food was always delicious , some was , but a lot of it was bland . Julia did a month visit at the Eldorado in Reno about 20 years ago as Emil guest . My lady some of the French dishes was nice , When I went to Paris , I had certain restaurants I would go to because most French food is heavy . I will say Julia was a lady ;
My grands find me the butterflies and gifs . Very glad you like them , they are becoming helpful to me .
Hugs and love
HB
Julia Child influenced so many of us with her approach to food. An amazing woman!
