  • I've neglected to go shopping of late.  My cupboards at home are getting quite bare.  Till I ran out of bananas, apples, bread, eggs, and milk.  But in a way its good, lets me clear out and eat things I have bought, before buying more.

    As a kid I can recall saying, we have nothing to eat, when of course there was plenty of food in the house, in fact a bounty of food to anyone in a starving nation.

    But a can of kidney beans, or box of rice hardly sounds like a snack in the first world, not even a dinner really.

    As the price of EVERYTHING goes up, and we all complain, I stop and ponder, yes things cost more, but I still find more food than I need, and I have no fear of this situation changing.

    I'm about to eat an apple, cause thats what I have left.  The great bounty of my almost empty cupboards, that could feed a 3rd world family for the rest of the month, but I feel compelled to restock immediately.

    I count my many blessings.
