Service Food Processor By admin Posted on June 14, 2016 2 min read 0 Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Google+ Share on Reddit Share on Pinterest Share on Linkedin Share on Tumblr This morning I was struck by the thought that preparation is a key element in my plan of eating and has a significant place in my daily action plan. Before OA, I made meals, but it wasn’t the same. Now, I am willing to commit the time it takes to think out a menu; shop for the ingredients (or, lucky me, harvest many fruits and veggies from my own organic garden!); and wash, peel, chop, slice, bake, simmer, and weigh. Nothing is thrown together at the last minute. There is joy in preparing. There is gratitude in the process. There is calmness in dishing out. You know, I even chew my food nowadays. I think my new behavior is directly linked to this new pattern of deliberately and methodically carrying out all steps necessary to serving up a plate without rushing. There is no adrenaline pumping when I pick up my fork. I am learning “I am worth it!” I am learning, one day at a time, to “work it.” I am thankful each time Higher Power graces me with awareness of yet another miracle that program has brought into my life. Prayers for our continued recovery, yours and mine! — K., Canada
