Today I just want to give a huge shout-out to my Dad and my son. Reviewing my food journal is at times like looking at a menu at a very nice restaurant. I have been enjoying venison cutlets, rainbow trout, and garden green beans and sweet potatoes all because my dad grows his own vegetables and fishes and my son took up hunting last fall and bagged his first deer. Although I have profound empathy for the suffering of animals, I am also a carnivore through and through who does not do well at all without meat and lots of it in my diet. Having access to wild fish and game with NO CHEMICALS harvested by people who love me makes my food a part of a circle of love and nurturing that helps heal me with every bite. This may sound to "woo woo" for some people, but I believe that toxic intent, toxic ingredients, and mindless ingestion are disease inducing. As a food addict, I am grateful to my marrow for food that won't make me crave, make me sick, make me relapse. It is hard to feel sorry for yourself because you can't have a Pepsi or a peanut butter sandwhich when there is a bag of fresh trout in the refrigerator or a freezer full of venison. I have a friend who was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer 15 years ago. Upon her diagnosis, her husband decided to keep their freezer full of wild fish and game at all times so that she never again had to eat processed food. When I think about love, I think about Matt walking through the woods to bring back good food for his mate and I think about how Cheryl has survived 15 years when she was supposed to have one year. Today, I am thankful for my two guys, my dad and my son, who are out there doing the same thing and bringing back the food I need to avoid the diabetes diagnosis I am supposedly heading toward otherwise. Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Joshua. I love you both. Journal entry dedicated to Matt B., Klamath Falls, Oregon and his lovely wife Cheryl.
