I have always been a snackaholic…. I love candy, sweets, salty, savory, you name it and I typically I love it, buy it, eat it and consume it. The older I get, the need has kicked in for much healthier foods and of course, healthier snacks. As much as these savory nibbles are satisfying to a degree it’s not as satisfying as a (well needed) rounded full satisfying meal (in a matter of speaking).
In life, it’s not necessarily the foods that you consume or the company that you keep, but the quality of it all. Snacking on the general elements in our daily life can be fun and tempting, you can snack on shopping, work, friendships, places you visit… you get the point.
However, have you ever thought how this theory might effect your thinking patterns for other daily routines. Have you had unfulfilling jobs that weren’t satisfying just to make ends meet? Places that you drive by but simply never stop to take it all in? Do you have friends that you snack or have coffee with, but don’t have a meal with? Perhaps digest it all (no pun intended) and consider more substantial approaches that are fulfilling.
Initiate the time to prepare the feast.
I believe facets in my life are reflective and relevant for something else I may be experiencing. for instance the elements of food I eat crosses over to relationships I have with people. The substance of friendships that you have with people will feed your soul to be fulfilled, if you settle for just a little nibble, it’s certainly not as satisfying as if you took the time to prepare the feast.
In short, chips are not dinner. Make the time for a satisfying meal with friends, feel comfort and satisfaction in the time well spent, it’s heartfelt and true… just savor the flavor.
