Groceries

So glad the weekend is finally here. I don't know if it was the time change last weekend or what, but I was just dragging all week. So it was nice to get a good night's sleep last night! Sorry I haven't posted pics in a while - we just haven't really done much that has presented photo ops!

This morning I went out to Target and the grocery store which leads me to this post. This is something I think about almost every time I go to the grocery store, so I finally decided to just share my random thoughts. :)

I walked in this morning and as usual the grocery store starts you right out in the produce section. Besides being thrilled that the yummy strawberries and blueberries were on sale, I just looked around at all the amazing fresh foods we have to choose from. I guess it just all makes me think just how lucky we are...to live in a country where we have endless number of huge stores just full of every type of food you could ever want or desire. I think about people in Third World countries that barely have water drink and are lucky to get a few scraps of food a day, and I feel guilty that I'm in a building stuffed full of food and I can just pick and choose whatever I want to buy. I have the luxury of passing up on buying foods because I just don't like the taste of them, whereas I know so many other people would eat anything presented to them.

I know it's random - but just something I felt I should share. I don't want to take for granted the simple luxuries in our life - but it really is a blessing that we have food to eat at every meal, and I'm so very thankful.
