Attitude of Gratitude Day 9

Attitude of Gratitude Day 9 – A Place in my Home

In My Kitchen

Journaling reads:  Someone said, “The kitchen is the heart of the home.”  And, I suppose, at one time it used to be.  I remember delighting in spending time in the kitchen finding new recipes for the family to try, even if it was a fail!  The fail kept me searching for the perfect meal they would enjoy!  I remember looking forward to the time we spent around the table, enjoying the meal I had worked hard to prepare, listening to everyone share their day with the rest of the family.  I remember finding the bits of food, hidden in the glass of milk or under the rim of the plate, so “they” could proclaim their plate was clean.  I remember.....Those days are long gone and while grateful for the new stove top I have, spending less time in the kitchen, and no complaining about the food I fix it’s just not the same.  I just don’t enjoy being in my kitchen like I used to.  My desire to discover new recipes and get creative is gone.  It just is.  I would rather eat out, but we are not rich.  So, I count my blessings; cook when I need to, and remember.....11/9/22
