Eating

We enjoy putting food into our bodies. You can tell by the number of food shows, restaurants, and books devoted to eating.

Eating is something we all do each day and every day.

Sometimes we cook for others, and at times we will allow others to cook for us.

The constant is this, we enjoy eating. Although, of course, some food is good for our bodies, and some food is not good for our bodies, but it is good for our mood and feelings.

Eating alone our with people eating establishes connections, creates memories, and holds relationships together. We eat to celebrate births, weddings, job promotions, and mourn after funerals or when we get bad news.

We eat to heal; eating is an expression of who we are.

Either together or alone, we eat, we share, and we care.
