Awareness of Gratitude

an excerpt from Live Beautifully:  A Book to Sit With, by Doris Wedige

Reflections on "Give us this day"...
As I sat at the table on my porch this morning to a plate of two fried eggs, two pieces of buttered toast, and a glass of orange juice, I was humbled to tears.  Before me was a precious gift, a bountiful allotment of nourishment for my body.  As I bowed my head in gratitude my tears and emotions flowed not just for my gratitude, but for my humility.  How many times in my life had I shoved food into my mouth mindlessly?  Not so much as stopping to sit while I took nourishment?
I no longer wish to mindlessly consume.  I wish to eat with Gratitude, with Intention.  I wish to honor our earth and eat frugally.  I never wish to throw away another scrap of food. 
I’ve missed the boat for so long.  No more.  I will eat with Love.
