Food For Thought

After a very long day in the middle of a really crazy week, I came home to find this waiting for me on the kitchen counter:

A little reminder of how blessed I really am. Suddenly all the problems and stress of late don’t seem as unbearably large anymore. And I’m thankful that I have a wonderful husband who reminds me of this constantly. Also, the amazingly talented and ridiculously inspirational Mary Marantz tweeted this the other day, and I totally loved it (partially because of the food parallel, but mostly because it gave me a huge attitude check)…

“Whenever I feel like I have too much on my plate, I give thanks for the extra helpings.”

Definitely gave me something to think about. No matter what this week brings for you, don’t forget to slow down and enjoy some dark chocolate : )

Did the Mary you speak of come up with that herself or did she get it from somewhere?

Hmm. Well I guess I don’t know for sure, but I think it’s her own words because she’s pretty good about naming her resource if she quotes someone and she didn’t have any quotations around that statement.

Definitely inspirational!
